Review: Dashed by Amanda Quain

A sweet, coming-of-age retelling of Sense & Sensibility on a cruise ship. 

Do you ever wonder about Margaret’s experience in Sense & Sensibility? Look no further. This YA contemporary romance and coming-of-age story follows Margaret Dashwood 5 years after the tragic passing of their father and the fateful events of Marianne’s whirlwind romance. 

I thoroughly enjoyed following Margaret as she learned how to find her own unique voice and identity in this sweet story. Highly recommend for a summer read. 

Thank you to Wednesday Books, St Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for this advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
