First read - DNF: I am not going to like Jane. She is so snarky and sarcastic and caustic and that will not be fun.
-----
I revisited this one because I was reading other things by the author, and I thought that I should give it another shot. I tend to be much too precious about Jane Eyre retellings haha I thought this was pretty fun in the end. It didn't try to stick too closely to the book, which I appreciated. Not at all bad, in the end.
