I just wanna say, THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS BOOK AND CHANGING THE STORY FOR ME. Not that the original Jane Eyre was bad, per se, but I honestly could only go through 3/4 of the book because I hated Mr Rochester so much. It was so nice for Jane to explore herself and her powers in this retelling. I feel like there was character development, but at the same time she feels like the same person in the original one. You know what I mean? Like it just feels like an alternate story, sort of. 

It was fantastically executed. The ghosts, the plots, all the extra characters and how it all ties in with the storyline, SO👏PERFECT!👏 And I loved the humour, although at times it did get a bit cringe, but I really liked it. It really put me in a good mood. 

I really appreciate the presence of the Brontës in here, and did I mention the multi-POVs???? I loved how the romance was instead focused between Charlotte and Alexander who are just the cutest!!! 💗💗💘💗

I did also enjoy the “references“? I don’t know what they’re called. The mini fact-checks, I guess. Those were really nice. Admittedly, there were times I felt they were annoying, but overall, I really liked them.
