My Plain Jane by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows

5.0

This book is an absolute masterpiece!!! It's hilarious, it's emotional, it's a wonderful parody of Jane Eyre if you know the source material, /and also/ a delightful tale in its own right (someone unfamiliar to the Bronte sisters' writing would /not/ feel excluded!) The narration in particular, how it draws the reader in like we're sharing a piece of gossip, reminded me of the grandfather from "The Princess Bride", or the great Mr. Lemony Snicket: perfectly measured wit and insight. I also love how the three authors who collaborated on The Lady Janies series are rather like the Bronte sisters themselves, sharing their love of writing... So many layers in which to appreciate this book!!! <3
