My Plain Jane has a similar energy to My Lady Jane, but where the joking, fourth-wall breaking humor worked in the first book, it feels a little self-conscious or self-aggrandizing in the second. The "plain" Jane is Jane Eyre, who in this version of her story can see ghosts, and they are drawn to her. Charlotte Brontë is also in the story, which is cutely meta.
