Persuasion

Look maybe Jane Austen would have been able to marry Thomas Lefroy if she didn't find miscommunication so romantic... Anne is basic and Frederick is cowardly. When the story finally gets interesting and you think you're going to hear the conversation between them, you don't. It's just a recap. To be fair, it was published posthumously, so that part could have been unfinished. I do love the casual uses of “fervent ejaculations” and “daily intercourse.” I feel obligated to actually read Pride and Prejudice now just to compare.
