“Don’t be so dramatic, darling,” Rusty said. “You got your heart a little banged up. Welcome to the human condition.”
So what is up with Rusty, the equivalent of Anne’s Lady Russell character? What’s his motivation? Why is he so vicious and insensitive? I don’t think the thinking has been updated in a logical way.

So I like this book but the hard part with a Persuasion update is that a modern day character wouldn’t be as constrained in their options as Anne Elliott. Why does Adam put up interference from his horrible relatives? Is it all in his personality?

Does alternating chapters between the present and the past throughout a book ever really work? Is it necessary?
