Possibilities (The Jane Austen Series): A Contemporary Retelling of Persuasion

Good book! I really enjoyed reading this contemporary version of "Persuasion." You mostly see Pride & Prejudice" adaptations, so its nice to see one of Jane Austen's other books getting some attention. I really liked Allie & Frederick's story ... So sweet yet so many twists & turns, just as in the original book. Louisa Musgrove's character is CRAZY in this version. I felt very sorry for Frederick having to put up with her shenanigans.If you are a Jane Austen fan and like her book "Persuasion," I believe you'll really enjoy this modern day retelling. Highly recommended!

If you are going to read a retelling of a Jane Austen book you need to read this one. Possibilities is a modern telling of Austen Persuasion. If you have read Persuasion or if you haven't you will love this charming second chance romance.This book centers around Allie Elton a daughter from a wealthy, prominent family and Frederick a handsome hardworking young man. They fell in love and were torn apart due to family obligations.This book is such a classic two people from two different worlds falling in love. This book is about second chances and a journey of how two people find their way back to one another despite circumstances and people.I loved this book, I loved the characters, the romance and the journey. Austen built the great foundation for a timeless love story and Debra White Smith gave it this beautiful and enchanting modern twist. I loved every minute of this one!

I enjoyed this modern retelling very much. I liked how we got a little more insight into what Frederick is thinking and he seems less petty here than the original.

This was a fun retelling of Persuasion. Debra White Smith did a good job with updating the story and moving it into a modern setting, yet keeping the essence of it. It made me want to go back and reread the original story.

I enjoyed this modern retelling of Persuasion, which is one of my favorites. I thought her character development was good, and I enjoyed having Frederick's perspective as well, although I didn't always believe that he would have said or done some of the things in the book. I very much appreciate the importance of Christianity in all of her books that I've read.

Allie is persuaded by duty and love. This retelling of Austin's Persuasion has you wondering what next could happen to persuade Allie and the members of her family to make the choice for the central characters' happiness.

Yes the storyline somewhat follows that of Persuasion, but the characters were over the top soap opera clowns.

I love Jane Austen and my favorite story of hers is Persuasion. I read this adaptation many years ago and just read it again....Allie and Frederick swept me away in this story....so sweet and romantic....happy sigh. I highly recommend this beautiful book!
