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.

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.
Content Warnings
Minor: Gaslighting, Violence, Death of parent, Toxic relationship, Injury/Injury detail, and Murder

Excellent writing and very mood-matched to Jane Eyre. The sexual abuse undertones became too central and as problematic as Mr Rochester is in the original Jane Eyre, the implications felt like an unfair twist. Reading Jane Eyre prior to Reader I Murdered Him will help the reader immensely!
