awww, I love this interlude chapter of Anne figuring things out on her own.
Love that she's decided to pursue her music again and just try new things and I'm glad that Liam recognized the kiss was awful too.
I also just love Anne realizing that she'll always love Wentworth; it comes as naturally as breathing to her. that was a great line.

OMG. This chapter was sooo well done.
Louisa's friendly nature and Anne feeling young again and all pumped up from a successful performance that she agrees to go out and the bartender giving Anne a drink and Anne knowing Wentworth's drink order and Louisa drinking too much because of her jealousy over Benwick and the accident and Anne's careful thinking and OOOH.
You have a way of portraying those strong emotions so poignantly. I really felt Anne's pain. The ocean of resentments and regrets between them seeming too hard to overcome. All that's left unsaid.

I really love the way Anne and Frederick's relationship is portrayed in modern AUs. Her practicality comes through in a way that really resonates for today. Her telling him that she couldn't move with him was so painful and you capture Wentworth's hurt feelings of betrayal so well...it's sad that he can't even bear to hear her side of things but - just as in the novel - it's hard for him that she doesn't have the same faith in him and them and he feels it all so strongly that it breaks his heart that the intensity of his feelings on this aren't returned.

awww, Anne's moment of realization that he doesn't hate her and still respects her as an artist but that's all it can ever be is really beautifully written and a nice ode to the book.

Loved the line about how Wentworth was like a vortex. You capture the passionate nature of their young romance really well.

Awww, this is such a tender treatment of Anne. You portray her conflicted emotions and Wentworth's coldness really nicely.
Ugh that first meeting was honestly brutal. Poor Anne!

Thanks for your beautiful story. I find that I have returned to read it every now and then. Definitely the best adaptation of Persuasion that I have read.

This story is really great! I love how you were able to modernise it without changing the essentials of the story

This is one of my very favorite modern day versions of Persuasion. I love it. I’ve read it multiple times. Thanks for writing a Persuasion story. There aren’t nearly enough!

Love this story so far. Only thing I'm wondering is why everyone has cars and are driving around if they're in NYC. I'd think they'd take cabs or a car service instead.

this was amazing. im breathless from reading it all in one go. honestly it was an absolutely brilliant execution in terms of a shift to a modern day sitting. and in 11 chapters too brilliant.

Oh, that was so amazing! I read it all in one sitting and even though it's almost midnight, on a weekday no less, I'm tempted to go back and reread parts. Well done!
