#but that's cuz it's set in trinidad and counts for my world tour

While we're on the subject of Persuasion, I want to mention that I think no one should be allowed to make YA retellings of that book. "I'm twenty-seven and running into the guy I broke a betrothal with at nineteen" is in no way comparable to "I'm eighteen and running into the boyfriend I dumped at sixteen." Persuasion's arc requires maturity. Time for both the leads to grow. You can't get that with teenagers.

#persuasion #jane austen #books #i say this as i have a ya retelling on my library pile #but that's cuz it's set in trinidad and counts for my world tour #(and i gotta admit that having anne's family run a hotel is a sharp adaptation choice)
