    Nice  update to Persuasion
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021*

Overall I really enjoyed this book, and was especially glad to see that Meg Cabot returned to her 'Boy" series, one of my favs.  She did a nice job updating the series style  with modern technology - txts, fb, chat apps, etc.  I was also glad that she went back to primarily conversation here, vs. journal entries like she did with Every Boy's Got One.  Every Boy's Got One took me a few years to read, as I just couldn't get into the jouranl entries that dominated it - I much preferred the emails and other modes of communication she used in the first two books.  I wish we'd seen more of the NY Journal characters she created, specifically those from The Boy Next Door and Boy Meets Girl.  That's another complaint I had with Every Boy's Got One - we'd fallen in love with these characters and this world but they were gone in the 3rd book besides a few mentions.  This one is much the same, except for the occasional pop up of Dolly Vargas and Tim Grabowski (with the 2nd one being so small you barely even recognize him).My biggest complaint, and the main reason I knocked it down to 4 stars, was the big confrontation.  Now I realize with this epistolary format, you have to get what's happening 2nd hand/told after, just by the nature of the format.  In previous books, Cabot found interesting ways to keep readers in the action (the wire and article in The Boy Next Door, the depos, emails, phone calls, sign in reports, and PNG notices in Boy Meets Girl, and even the way that Jane recorded conversations word for word in her journal).  Here, we get it through the eyes of a kid.  Now while I greatly enjoyed said kids take... the biggest issue is that she is rightly taken out of the room by an adult during the HUGE confrontation that's at the climax of the book.  And while she says she has perfect aural recall, she won't say what was said.  Um.  Sorry.  That seems like a cop out to your readers.  I get it in the context of that character.  But surely there was another way to do that?  I mean, in this age of fb and stuff, surely ONE Of the kids would have still had access to SOMETHING to record it for fb/youtube and we get a transcription of it?  Come on.otherwise, like I said, for fans of Jane Austen's Persuasion this is a fun update with great characters.  Though I could never quite decide if Reed was really the Wentworth character... or the Anne Elliot character....  Also, while I missed Jason and Stacy Trent (particularly Stacy as she's a standout from the first two books), Marshall and Carly make for really great stand-ins and I loved them.

    Another Funny and Fun Read
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018*

I have refered to "lighter" novels as fluffy fiction, in passing, to my friends. But that said, we all need some fun in our lives and in our literature. Meg Cabot's novels are always engaging, funny, warm, and relatable. I find myself rooting for the main characters and laughing out loud. And I love when she writes a novel in the epistollary style, because who doesn't want to read someone else's texts messages or emails? But ultimately, the characters are likable, unless you are supposed to detest them and then they are detestable, and I just have a good time reading stories about love and humor and family, and about a character that I could see myself wanting to be friends with, because we have similar simple hopes for our lives.

    All texts and emails? Give me a break
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020*

Love Meg Cabot but the story written as all text and emails is juvenile and annoying AF. Made it to 5%. I'm off to read a real book.
