I liked this even better than the first in the series! This one deepened the story of Persuasion by adding a multigenerational element and adding the [familial] love story between the protagonist and her mom. And that actually is just as important as or even more important than the primary romance story, although that is still good! I also appreciate that the Louisa subplot didn't carry out entirely faithfully to the original because that is truly so rough every time!
Graphic: Panic attacks/disorders, Suicide, and Death of parent
Moderate: Alcoholism, Misogyny, Rape, Sexual assault, Blood, Death of parent, and Abandonment
Minor: Confinement, Infidelity, Vomit, and Abortion
