My thoughts:
I think this was a good example how if you make a modern adaption then do change things!
First Anne met Wentworth at 17 (or 16) and wanted to marry him before even having finished HS. Yes her dad said no cos Rick had no money, but omg, hello! She had not even finished HS!
He was actually given an ultimatum, wait for her to finish college and then get married and he just walked away. What an effing ahole. That did not make me like him.
In the book her sis married that Charles guy even though he was in love with Anne. We never got an explanation why someone today would feel the need do do that. Why did he? Why did she? Also she must have married very young since she had 2 kids and were under 25. I am not saying people can not marry young but these two did not even like each other. It was a status thing. You can't be on the shelf either.
The Musgroves at once thought that Rick could marry one of their daughters. That worked great back then, now the whole eligible bachelor was just really? Bad parenting.
Anne was fond of reading. Rick was a really famous author. She had never heard of him. He went into the navy 8 years ago, became a writer and was now rich.
What else...oh her sister dated their Elliott cousin, like euwww. Modern days, maybe not do that.
These two had almost no interaction before the letter, fine I believed it in those days, but now, I can not even see why you two like each other?!
Poor Anne, not married at 25. Omg how tragic.
The Lyme couple got engaged as in the real version too...too fast now.
All these people are idiots.
Omg do not read this one.
Omg do not read this one.
