She also likes to chat with teenagers. Summer is her favorite season of the year because she can eat watermelon and hang at the pool.

Persuasion: a latter-day tale by Rebecca H. Jamison is a cute and sweet rendition with a twist of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. This story is of a young women, Anne, who broke off her engagement with Neil Wentworth, the man of her dreams. Anne fully expects never to see Neil ever again, but eight years later, he unexpectedly reappears in her life. Soon after Neil comes back into Anne’s life, she starts dating another nice young man, Will. But as nice as Will is, Anne cannot get Neil out of her head. So Anne must make a choice, be with Will, or let him go for a change with Neil. A delightful modern-day retelling, this story is one that readers will thoroughly enjoy. Filled with delightful Austenish characters and of course romance, I would recommend this novel to readers that enjoy Jane Austen novels with a twist.
