My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows
You may think you know the story. Penniless orphan Jane Eyre begins a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester—and, Reader, she marries him. Or does she?
Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Bronte, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights.
I was a little worried that this book wouldn’t live up to My Lady Jane, but it totally did! My Plain Jane is hilarious, honestly, and I loved it. It’s very light-hearted and borderline satirical even. The plot is well-done and intricate, if outlandish at times. The characters are all very lovable and realistic, and you’re rooting for them all the way through. I wasn’t really expecting this, but the ghost hunting plays a very large part in this story. It’s basically the story of Jane Eyre (which I actually don’t know at all) reimagined with ghosts and evil government officials.
The book starts off a bit bland, but you really get into the groove of things halfway through, and it’s pretty hooking from there on out. The book is rather long, but it’s definitely worth the time.
