A really enjoyable and engaging read! I loved all the plot twists and secrets, and the way the characters interacted and thought. Maybe I liked it cause it was so obviously inspired by Jane Eyre, one of my favourite books ever, although I didn't notice the similarities at first. I wish we could have learned a little more about Eddie and Jane's pasts, but I was really satisfied with the amount of backstory Bee got.
