I really liked this book! I thought it was a refreshing take on Persuasion, especially because it was not a carbon copy. If you are looking for an exact retelling of Persuasion in a modern era, this book is not for you but I loved how the author maintained the atmosphere of Persuasion while also bringing in new characters and plots of her own. Overall a great, romantic and simple read although be warned there are some darker aspects of the plot.
