This is a beautifully written take on Persuasion, which is not one of my favorites by Jane Austen.I lost sleep reading this book.  The characters were very engaging and realistic.  It was easy to feel the emotions that Claire was experiencing.  One of the unrealistic things is I would imagine there would have been paparazzi around if Jared was as famous as he was.  One of the townspeople would have let it slip that he was in town.I struggled between 3 and 4 stars because I feel that there were elements that could have been left out of the story and it would have been just as entertaining.  There is a lot of underage drinking, some drug use by secondary characters and some mention of sex (nothing is really described just mention of who may have had sex with whom).  I don't think this appropriate for a YA novel.  That aside the story itself was wonderful!
