Because it was English, easy to read and there was this connection with the original Jane Austen's "Persuasion" (which I read some weeks ago), I loved it. And Melissa Nathan's style was so fresh and light and at the same time sarcastic (although she was not so mean with her heroine like Austen was).
Although there are some characters I didn't like and some actions I couldn't see as credible, the main characters, incl. Cass, Annie's sister Victoria and her husband, Charles, were very interesting and funny and sweet (love Victoria's "that's my boy" to Berties when she's flying to New York). Love to see the paralelisms with the original novel and trying to discover them was fun. At the other hand, perhaps because the story is set in our time I had the impression that this Annie is more fragile and sweet that Jane Austen's, which gave the new one more appeal and made her more lovable (although she is less relaxed and shows much more unhealthy anger, what kind of era are we living in? v.v).
Anyway, I ought to recommend this book to everybody, especially those people who read "Persuasion" and loved it...
