Persuasion
by Jane Austen
emotional
hopeful
reflective
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
It got pretty slow in the middle, but the breakneck ending more than made up for it. Don't sleep on this one if you're exploring Austen, Anne Elliot and Captain Frederick Wentworth are just as remarkable a couple as any of her others. I especially recommend this book to people-pleasers and anyone who feels stifled in a toxic family or friend group.
