Recipe for Persuasion by Sonali DevMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I devoured this book, and even though it wasn't amazing, I really enjoyed it. There's definitely some repetitive descriptions (like how many times can Ashna's hair be put behind her ear) and some overly simplified emotions, but reading it is like watching your favorite cinematic love story. I just can't help but hope that the characters fall in love. Like Dev's previous update of Pride & Prejudice, Recipe for Persuasion is very loosely tied to Jane Austen's original Persuasion. That said, Dev stays true to Austen's style and ensures that things work out for her hero and heroine. And let's be honest, we need more happy endings (and delicious descriptions of food) in our lives.
Happy reading and happy falling in love--
ps. More of 3.5. :)
