FINALLY!!!! BEGONE WITH THIS BOOK!!! Anyways, this was… fun ig? What I mean by that is, though there were some interesting plot points and characters and thoughts throughout this book, there were also moments where I was like „Charlotte ffs just move on already!“ So yeah. Also the Edward and Jane romance is albeit a tad controversial (like, idk,

the 20 year age gap and the crazy locked up wife come to mind

), ultimately it ended up being quite sweet actually.

my review of this book is colored by the stageplay performance of the jane eyre adaptation in advance of which i read the book being cancelled at the last moment. i am still bitter!!!
i liked the general vibe and message and arc of this book. jane was serving sad pitiful orphan with a big beautiful brain
hated

mr. rochester and wanted to kill him with hammers. but i respect jane’s choice and that she did not compromise on ~liberation~ .

also some lovely classic british novel things like uhhh racism and antiziganism and horrible british people
