I am currently about an hour south of Hollywood! I loved this version of Sense and Sensibility! A really fun retelling with some original storylines as well as still recognizable to Austen fans.

IriDas An hour as in an hour or as in how long it took in LA traffic? :) 3mo
Chrissyreadit @IriDas Ha!!! no in LA traffic it would be closer to 2. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 3mo

This reminded me of “The Moon and More, which is my least favorite Sarah Dessen book. I loved the humor and dynamic with Cricket's family, but I didn't like the love triangle and drama. Unfortunately I was correct at guessing part of the ending and sobbed, of course. And I didn't like after all the drama with the love interests, there wasn't any resolution in the ending.

Our main protagonist is Ana. She's 18 and lives in a future where society is pretty much controlled by the pharmaceutical industry and the people are split into two main groups.

Those with mental health issues are outcasts who are registered with the government and are force fed medication 'for their own good'. Their world is unsafe, unstable and damn right hard.

Meanwhile the 'pure' people live in a world full of luxury and safety.

When I was in high school I read and loved this series. Returning to them now when it feels like the world is in such chaos, felt like a warm hug. Some plot points are obviously dated, but I loved rereading these books that I adored when I was so young.

Another morning coffee.Overall the tagged book was a good read but I did find Alice rather immature.
It‘s a dual timeline story. It‘s 1881 & the love affair between Austin Dickinson & Mabel Todd is explored. Move to 2013 & Alice Dickinson(no relation)is researching their story to write a script.Her quest takes her to Amherst where she finds”love,”secrets, & betrayal in the lovers story & her own.Emily D hovers ghost like on the sidelines.A so-so.
