If you love Jane Austen, you are going to love this take on Persuasion! Ashna is trying to rebuild the shambles of her life but all of a sudden her steamy ex, Rico is back in the picture. This book does a fantastic job of addressing really hard things, like parental failings and depression, while still keeping things upbeat. It feels like a self help book masked as a romantic comedy, I for one, love it.
