I've confessed before that I'm not a huge Austen fangirl, and I've never read Persuasion. I think this was a fine way to enjoy the story mashed up with a pretty original dystopian theme wherein luddites are the ruling class. Also, the love story between the main characters is revealed through letters they ferry to each other in secret and I'm a sucker for epistolary writing. Definitely a quick and romantic read.
