Within My Reach | Amy Blythe

A Sapphic retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion. Anna's summer vacation just got derailed: her family home has to be rented out, and the new tenant is her ex-girlfriends's sister. Camping on a futon and babysitting her nephews, Anna pulls together a plan-B vacation. If only she wasn't constantly bumping into her ex, who just got back from conquering the world, one stunning photograph at a time. Anna has never entirely forgiven herself for letting Frida go. And Frida, it would seem, hasn't forgiven her either. No one knows about their past--a blessing-turned-curse when, before Anna's very eyes, not one but two of her friends fall under Frida's spell.

I keep forgetting to post my review of this #pemberlittens read! I enjoyed this sapphic retelling of Persuasion, but didn‘t love it. I felt like it stuck too close to the book at times (especially that quick-summary epilogue). I did really appreciate the addition of flashbacks to Anna and Frida‘s original relationship, though. Being an f/f Austen and set in New Zealand, it reminded me of If I Loved You Less, and suffered for the comparison.
