You’re absolutely spot on with Netflix and classics. Couldn’t have said that better.

When I read “give persuasion another shot” I thought…”Huhhh?”…

But then I noticed the “novel” and I’m like, ohh yeah, sure. Without having read it, I know the book will be much better than what Netflix did with it.

About living vicariously, I totally get that.

I don’t trust Netflix with classics, the Wuthering Heights trailers say enough but give persuasion ( novel) another shot.

I think for a lot of women, these stories are a way to live vicariously, just to believe, even briefly, that a man, a perfect man, who would burn the world for you might exist. The thought of it is...indescribable.

TBH, I had a couple in mind…

In this order…

Sense and Sensibility (the movie is 💯)

Pride and Prejudice (This was good too)

I’ve seen Persuasion, but something about it didnt quite “slap”, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that it’s a Netflix movie.

About Bridgerton, may I ask why, in your opinion, so many women like it?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate this...was it persuasion you had in mind?

You should watch Bridgerton🙃
