The Wife Upstairs
by Rachel Hawkins
Unmet expectations
I’m not sure exactly what I was hoping for with this book since I love Jane Eyre so much, but this wasn’t it. It was definitely filled with modern twists on Bronte’s work and piqued my interest the further in I got, but I was underwhelmed by the ending and felt it left a lot to be desired at the conclusion. In some ways that matches up with its inspiration, but I felt like I should have more connection to the characters that I simply didn’t, even by the end. 3 stars for piquing my interest and making me want to reread the classic again, though.
