The genres for this book are listed as Chick Lit and Romance of which I very seldom read as I usually do not enjoy them. This book is an exception. I really really liked this book. It is described as a modern retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion. I have not read Persuasion so I had no preconceived notion of what the story may be. It tells the story of a family with the last name of Fortune who are forced out of their family home because of a financial crisis. The story is told by Jane Fortune, 38, single, still pining after her first love and how she copes with the family's financial downfall and reconnection with her first love. The writing was very good, the characters were well developed and there was humor as well. I found myself thinking of the characters days after I finished. That is the sign of a good book for me.
