Jane & Edward
by Melodie Edwards
This was a fun read and has me smiling just thinking about it. I loved the way the author put a modern twist on Jane Eyre and did so in a way that worked really well. I also found Edward’s character hilarious, the meet-cute between him and Jane will forever be a favorite now. I also loved the resiliency in Jane and her ability to find ways to go after what she wants, no matter how many barriers were in her way. It’s very admiring.
There were some areas where it dragged a bit for me and I would have liked to see more conversations between Edward and Jane in the early stages. While I liked them together, Edward clearly fell for her first but I just didn’t fully see why. And it’s not because I didn’t like Jane or think they made sense, I just needed more build up. Her not being afraid of him doesn’t seem like the healthiest reason for him to fall for her. Overall a fun enjoyable 3.75 star read for me.
