Another wonderful story by Jenni James; I absolutely love
the Jane Austen Diaries series. All four books are by far my favorite books
I've read this year. Persuaded and Emmalee were my favorite Christmas presents
I received. When I got home Christmas evening I started reading Persuaded and
didn't put down the book until I finished it in the middle of the night. I love
the way Jenni uses the characters and events that Jane Austen did but turns
them into a modern situations we can all relate to; like four-wheeling in Moab
instead of a walk to the Cobb in Lyme. The character Amanda Ellis became an
instant favorite of mine. She was just as nice and sometimes to a fault as Anne
Elliott was. It’s the perfect classic tale of girl meets a boy, he’s geeky but
she still likes him. She lets friends talk her out of being with him and breaks
his heart. Big Mistake! He comes back years later and he’s hot, smart, and very
successful... And he doesn't want to have anything to do with her. Amanda has
to deal with the choices she made. I love that so many guys are into Amanda but
she is completely clueless of her effect she has on them. The song "She
doesn't know she's beautiful" kept playing in my mind as a theme song for
this book. It is a great adaption and wonderful read.
