A review by anna__b
Persuasion by Jane Austen

4.5

The romance was maybe not my favorite compared with other Austen stories because it just took so long for them to even be able to interact with each other, and then the ending came far too soon and too abruptly. So I think P&P is staying on top of my rankings for now. But otherwise, this was a really fun read. I was looking like a crazy person listening to the audiobook while out walking because it had me laughing out loud so much. It's funny how much the characters in a 200 year old book can remind you of the infuriating (and endearing) qualities of your own relatives. And as much as I'd like to believe I'm a Lizzie Bennet, I think I might actually be an Anne - her overthinking was unfortunately very relatable.
