Old favorites that I like to dip back into after a hard day — “Howl’s Moving Castle,” by Diana Wynne Jones, would fall into that category.

I almost never cry—at books, at life, anything. But something about the ending of that book hit me right in the feels.

Here's the thing - a lot of Austen is funny, but Persuasion isn't. It's sad, wistful and full of regret. If Netflix want a funny regency novel for the Bridgerton treatment, why not go with Northanger Abbey? Or literally ANY Georgette Heyer who has about 7 million unadapted books?
