Review: Modern-Day Persuasion
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 4, 2013
This was such a fun modern novel based on Jane Austen's persuasion. Claire broke up with her boyfriend, Jared, at the request of her mother. She knows that her mother meant well, but it broke her heart and she hasn't seen or heard from Jared since. However, she knows how he feels because the angry heartbreak songs that he wrote about her now play on the radio. When she runs into him on summer vacation life gets interesting.This is published by Harlequin Teen, but I would recommend it for older teens or adults due to the references to alcohol, drugs and sex. Despite these topics (which are only mentioned briefly) and a few curse words, this is a fun read and Austen fans will enjoy it.
