This was a solid 3 for me until the twist. I liked the queer rep, but the relationship needed fleshed out more imo. It was also fairly slow for the first half of the book. Loved the idea and the title.

I'm such a huge fan of Jane Eyre, and I'm not sure why this book just didn't grab me. I am very pro Rochester-is-trash, but I don't think I liked seeing him as like a disgusting predator. I guess because I really like Jane, and I don't want to think that she ended up with just a true sack of moldy potatoes. I would like to give this author another attempt though, because I may have just come in with too many of my own feelings on the original text!

This books was a complexity of things and sometimes I wasn’t sure what was happening. After listening to the authors note I gain more perspective than just listening to it. However the narrator was fantastic. I’m also not sure if I would classify this as young adult or new adult.
