Persuasion
by Jane Austen
*2.5 stars*
I don't mind this.

The entire time I was reading, I thought that surely just as Anne had been persuaded to give up Wentworth, she would have to persuade him to love her again.

Oops.
I like Austen's narrator but found most of the plot padding dull and man was that "big finish" underwhelming.
