First Impressions- Indulge your inner romantic - a new collection of Jane Austen's classic novels celebrating 250 years since her birth

With a foreword by Alexis Hall, author of Boyfriend Material and A Lady for a Duke

' Anne and Wentworth

are legit freaking soulmates. Also, independently of that- Wentworth is great.' - Alexis Hall

Anne and Captain Wentworth fell in love eight years ago. Although Anne broke off their engagement as her father wished, their flame flickers on, however dim.

When they finally meet again, Wentworth has secured wealth and status to become an eligible option. But both Anne and Wentworth have their eyes on other people, and Anne must follow her heart to decide whether to start again or rekindle an old flame.

Fall head over heels for First Impressions, Puffin's boldly designed new YA Jane Austen collection. Like all the best romcoms, Austen's novels are full of meet-cutes, missed connections and drama; they are masterclasses in the lost arts of stolen glances and breath-taking gestures.

With a stunning modern design and forewords from leading YA romance authors, this eye-catching six-book series is an open invitation to escape the brutal nonchalance of modern dating and embrace your inner romantic.

Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family's amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.
