A review by haerin
Persuasion by Jane Austen

slow-paced

4.5

can you believe this is the first jane austen novel i've actually read? i mean, i've watched adaptations, of course, but now that i've finally dipped my toes into her world of voracious verbiage, i think i can easily say this is one of THE slice-of-life slow burn romance you recommend when people want something angsty, where you yell at the characters to just hurry up and get their shit together (but secretly revel in how stupidly blind they're being). 

i'm not sure what's holding me back on the full 5 stars though...
