It turns out I still don’t like the story of Jane Eyre, though I do appreciate the modern update. Solid art, with a nice use of color.
My one note is about Alice’s Tea Shop which shows up on one scene- and is WRONG (wrong location, wrong windows, etc)- I don’t know much about New York City but that one location I know very well.

pretty heavy art style for my taste, but an interesting modern adaptation overall
emotional
medium-paced
This was kinda fun? I liked the art style and I loved Jane and Adele's relationship, but the ending? ummmmmm wtf
I haven’t read the og so maybe I like this more than I should but it was kinda fire
Fun quick read Modern take on Jane Eyre

The art was good and this was fairly successful as an updated adaptation of Jane Eyre. I liked parts, but overall it felt like it moved too quickly to get too attached or delve too deeply into anything. It didn't pull a lot of strong emotion from me-felt like a contemporary and easily palatable rom-com or something. I enjoyed it, but it felt mostly like fluff. Some updates were nice, I liked her roommate and illustrations of her family home, etc.
Making the story more acceptable though (in terms of the wife in the attic plot) fell really flat. The changes were boring and the ending too predictable and clean/easy.

Interesting adaptation of Jane Eyre that didn't quite work for me. The characters of Jane and Rochester are missing the moral ambiguity that make them so compelling in the original. In part because Bertha Mason's story is handled so differently. The art is beautiful though.
I think I liked this retelling of Jane Eyre because I have not actually read the full Jane Eyre. Reading the commentary, I have gathered that most fans of this book can't stand it because they like the original better.
Okay, well, this exists. It started out as a serviceable retelling of Jane Eyre, which I appreciate is a hard book to update, and then flew into some sort of typical noir that tried to be surprising but wasn't. A general meh, but the art was good and some of the plotting was entertaining.
