Jane by Aline Brosh McKenna
3.0

The art was good and this was fairly successful as an updated adaptation of Jane Eyre. I liked parts, but overall it felt like it moved too quickly to get too attached or delve too deeply into anything. It didn't pull a lot of strong emotion from me-felt like a contemporary and easily palatable rom-com or something. I enjoyed it, but it felt mostly like fluff. Some updates were nice, I liked her roommate and illustrations of her family home, etc.
Making the story more acceptable though (in terms of the wife in the attic plot) fell really flat. The changes were boring and the ending too predictable and clean/easy.
