My Plain Jane by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows

5.0

I really enjoyed this book! I liked that I didn’t need to have a lot of knowledge of Jane Eyre to thoroughly enjoy this book. I could only imagine how good of an experience this book would have been for Jane Eyre and Brönte fans. It’s tropey and I like that I share the same sentiments with the authors to have a soft epilogue. Even with the misadventures, it wasn’t terrible and scary to read. This was such a fun retelling of Jane Eyre! And yes, thank you for giving us the madwoman in the attic’s happy ending. And most of all that we still didn’t remove that toxic masculinity was what put Bertha in the attic. Grace Poole was the scariest among all. This was a roller coaster ride now that I look at it in hindsight but really quite enjoyable. Storytelling is A++.
