Anne + Wentworth || Are you coming back?

Are you coming back? I'm waiting.

Okay, is this adaptation Persuasion in essence? For me, no. If I switched off I enjoyed the piece - not love - but enjoyed.

However....

Persuasion is one of my favourite Austen books, the maturity, self reflection, the romantic tension, the longing, so many things...so many things I found missing in this piece personally.

I understand their choices but this does not mean I liked them. I felt the scenes between Anne and Wentworth by themselves removed the tension we feel build in the other adaptations/book due to the fact they are not allowed a moment together to shout everything they have felt apart and now back together.

I wanted to edit it because I found it visually delightful and despite the hash up of destroying some well loved quotes and modern tweaks I still wanted to see if I could capture Anne and Wentworth in this edit with the material; the longing, the waiting.

I am going to joining @trash_rom_lover on her Trash Romance Central podcast to talk about this Persuasion and will link the podcast here and on my channel once live next week.

How are you all feelings about the adaptation?
