hazydazywaffles's review against another edition

Ok, I'm gonna be honest. I don't like this book at all. So many people were like its such a good romance. Um, its weird and freaky. Its an age-gap romance which I wasn't aware of and his nicknames for her are kinda freaky to me. He calls her "my little friend" and

when he proposes to her, he calls her "my soon-to-be girl-bride". I knowthis was more of a common thing at the time this book was writen but they also often say things like "he's old enough to be your father". HE SOUNDS LIKE A PETIFILE. Also, MR. ROCHESTER IS A MARRIED AND HIS WIFE STILL LIVES IN THE HOUSE. I DON'T CARE THAT SHE'S INSANE, HE IS LITERALLY CHEATING ON HIS WIFE WHILE SHE IS AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!

I just really didn't like this book, won't recommend it.

Ok sooo it’s a wonderfully written book and the author is definitely talented. However, the story itself didn’t end up being my cup of tea. Rooting for the main character was super easy but her ending was not the one I was hoping for.

Basically Jane gets in a relationship, and engaged to be wed, with a man that’s 20+ years older than her when she is 18, leaves him for like 10 months after having found out that he had another wife literally locked in his attic, and then at the end of the book she comes back to him when she’s 19. And the ending portrays it as a happily ever after. Yeah, not my vibe.
