I was so excited to get my hands on this book! I'm a sucker for retellings, so when I heard this was a retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion, I knew I had to read it. It's a light and fun read, with unexpected heartfelt moments.
Anne was extremely relatable, and I found her story an enjoyable one to read. It was a lot funnier than I expected it to be, which was such a nice surprise. Anne had a funny supportive friend in Larry, who added another layer to the story.
I loved Adam's character. I wish we saw more of him! That is really my only criticism of the book. I wish Anne and Adam had had more scenes together in the book. Due to how it ended, I wanted more from the two of these characters. I felt it wrapped up a too quickly for me. Other than that, it was a fun read and I'd suggest it to other readers who enjoy women's fiction and a good story.
