When Charlotte Bronte and Jane Eyre went to boarding school together tragedy followed. So did books. The characters interact and find that the Jane Eyre sees ghosts, and she befriends them. The Society for relocating ghosts is on its last strings and she might be the way to save their jobs and keep the country free of pesky poltergeist.

I thought I was gonna like this one more than the first, just because of the premise, but that was not the case. IMPORTANT NOTE: I liked them both a lot.

I'm loving these stories!!! This one had the paranormal aspect that the original Jane Eyre was missing, and it made it even more perfect!!!! The mystery and thrilleresque part of the story made it so much better. I love all the characters. The ghosts, especially Helen, made me laugh with their humor and wit. It honestly couldn't have been more perfect. Another reason, besides the characters, that I love this story, and the first one, is how the authors change so much of the original but still keep the aspects that are loved and real.

The retelling of Jane Eyre that you never knew was missing from your life. I loved this as thoroughly as their last book and was frankly disappointed when it ended. Can I demand a sequel?

The premise of these books are so ridiculous, but the writing is so fun and entertaining that they are very enjoyable and quick to read despite their length. There are so many random pop culture references hidden in the book that you wouldn't even realize unless you knew, which were interesting and made me smile when I came across them. This made me realize how much I have forgotten about the original Jane Eyre since it has been awhile since I have read it, but this retelling is so outlandish and different that you definitely do not have to have read Jane Eyre or remember it well to understand and enjoy this book.

"'Go home, Miss Brontë.'"
I had such a great time rereading this one, and I've decided it's a feel-good favorite of mine. I love the weird spin that these ladies add to their books, and it's so fun to see the alternate reality of Charlotte Brontë and Jane Eyre being friends. Mr. Blackwood is the cutest, and I think he deserves a nice vacation. Branwell is *that* himbo, and Helen gives the running narrative most books are missing. I just love the playfulness of the story and the way in which the authors interact with the reader. All-in-all, I had a great time rereading!
