When I first began Suddenly You I worried about the roll that track would play in the book. I'm not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination and, for the most part, sports hold all of the excitement of watching paint dry for me. Fortunately, while running did play a part, it wasn't overwhelming. I was quickly drawn into the story and found myself liking everything about it: the strong characters, the distinct personalities, the engaging plot, even the writing style itself. It's no secret that when it comes to modern retellings of the classics that I'm more than a little weary. I don't like when someone takes a classic, adds a few minor tweaks and then calls it their own. In the case of the fourth installment of Cecilia Gray's The Jane Austen Academy Series, she does a masterful job of taking a few elements from Jane Austen's Mansfield Park and molding them into her own modern, unique story. And while this may be the fourth installment in the series, the book can easily stand on its own. It's a fast read that will leave you wanting to read more.NOTE: I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for my honest review.
