This book was everything to me. I’ve never actually read Persuasion but this 100% made me want to and despite this being insanely reliant on the miscommunication trope and it being at times overly complicated I loved it so much
Literally read it in just over 24 hours lol so so so good but definitely be aware of content warnings because this book may be a romance but it’s really dark and has a lot of heavy topics
Edit: switched it from 5 to 4.75 though bc I just remember like nothing about it lol and I can’t keep something rated 5 stars if i don’t remember anything about it
