Thanks so much to NetGalley, Gallery Books and Julia Sonneborn for the opportunity to read and review this debut novel - really enjoyed it! This is a retelling of Jane Austin's Persuasion, which I've never read, but a contemporary romance that's light and totally easy to get lost in.
Anne is an English professor at a college in California. She has a mountain of student loan debt, is struggling to finish her book, and has been told that unless she gets it published, she won't get tenure and will lose her job. On top of that, her dad is struggling with health issues. So when the college announces a new president and it turns out to be her ex-fiancée, she becomes a bit overwhelmed. A new visiting author helps to take her mind off her troubles.
This book is filled with real life - friendship, family, work and love - and spins it all into a really enjoyable read. Kudos on a great debut - loved the cover too!
