A review by vicki_williams
Emerett Has Never Been in Love by Anyta Sunday
4.0
4.5 stars. Wonderful modern adaptation.
This original modern adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen certainly remains faithful to the book that inspired it. It had me fully hooked from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down - a one sitting read.
Lake cannot help himself with his non stop meddling, is quite dramatic, is in complete self denial and can be hurtful at times but the writing ability of this author redeemed him. Knight is older, sensible, patient and has an inordinate amount of empathy for others. Between them is a unmistakable current of sexual tension and buckets of mutual pining which after a long slow burn is enacted upon.
The main characters are supported by a very interesting and, at times, slightly eccentric cast of side characters. Harry is just adorable and I wanted to give him all the big squishy hugs, after I wiped a tear from my eye.
This is a very enjoyable slow burn with some feels, a dash of angst and lots of witty banter. I highly recommend it.
