When confronted with her friends' opinions of Finn, she pretended not to know him and broke his heart. Now he's back, and Anna hopes to get a second chance to apologize and maybe something more, but her former beau is no longer interested. The protagonist has more to worry about besides her romance troubles, however. Her sisters Lizzie and Molly are both off to college, and she is left living with her narcissistic father, who may or may not be dating one of Lizzie's friends. Then a weekend musical festival changes everything for Anna and Finn. A modern retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion, Anna's first-person narrative is filled with humor and honesty. While the pair's love story is the main focus, plotlines involving secondary characters are woven together well. References to drugs, alcohol, and sex make this suitable for teens looking for a realistic YA romance novel with relatable charactersespecially fans of the author's previous Austen updates.Natalie Struecker, Rock Island Public Library, IL
