This was in no way what I was expecting. The plot followed two people who weren't alike faking a relationship for charity. What starts as a one sided hate fest turns into something more.
I enjoyed the sweet side of the story and the fact that some prejudice the Sarah had seems to disappear the more she realizes not all people are the same. In the beginning I didn't really enjoy the fact she generalized sports players as being dumb.
Overall a sweet read that keeps you smiling throughout.

Thank you for allowing me to read an early copy on NetGalley

This book is heartbreaking and thought-provoking. I can't imagine spending half of my life in prison for something I didn't do. That Mr. Hinton was on death row all that time makes it that much worse. The blatant prejudice shown by those involved in Mr. Hinton's arrest, trial, and conviction is unforgivable, yet he was able to find it in his heart forgive them. Mr. Hinton is an amazing man. I hope the people who hear him speak are inspired by his story. We need every voice to help fix our very broken justice system.

This was the second time I read this book. I re-read it because I was attempting to get my family to read the book but ended up just reading most of it by myself. I love this book and find that it might be my favorite Austen novel, although Pride and Prejudice will always hold a very special place in my nostalgic heart. Persuasion is funny, sweet, and I love the characters, especially Anne. I love watching her confidence in herself grow and the look at how we view ourselves vs. how others view us. Love this book!
