3.5 stars. It was entertaining but nowhere near My Lady Jane.

It was a fun reimagining of the Jane Eyre story with cheeky pop culture references. It doesn't have a ton of depth, but is a good option for anyone looking for a light read.

This book was so great. It was light and unexpected. The characters were great. I would recommend this book to everyone.

This book was a ton of fun, and I enjoyed it much more than the first Lady Janeys book. This had more than one joke, and the story was engaging the whole time. I really enjoyed the characters.

This book had lots of charm. The narration was quirky and endearing. But not enough to make up for how boring it was.
This book shouldn't be boring. It was fast paced and filled with characters and events. Maybe it was that I didn't really care for any of the characters. I don't know why though. Theyre all unique and well thought through. I just did not care. I already put this book down months before and I had to force myself to finish it.
And the half real and half fake story really left a lot of plot holes. Rochester married a French woman so is that the mother of adéle? Who even is Adéle in this story. The biologal child of Rochester?? It isn't explained.

“I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!”
I have a confession to make: I haven’t read Jane Eyre. It’s a classic that I know well, but that I’ve never actually read. Eek! Regardless I loved My Plain Jane on its own and as a retelling of Jane Eyre.
Just like the first book in this series, My Lady Jane, the second installment comes alive with the audiobook. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook for the accents, the sound effects, and the atmosphere!
The Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits was a GREAT idea. It connects with the eventual Victorian obsession (but disbelief) with spirits and the original Gothic elements of Jane Eyre.
Jane Eyre as the main character is pleasant enough. It’s sweet that she got her Mr. Rochester in the end even if it wasn’t the way assumed.
Making Charlotte and Branwell Brontë characters in the story was a fun way to spice it up. The two of them along with Alexander Blackwood made a great team of acting agents.
Mr. Rochester is so humorous. I love it. I mean he pretended to be a fortune teller to speak with Jane and find out what she thinks of him.
