Welcome to Litsy!

Jane dog walks her way into the life of luxury when she comes across the gorgeous widow Eddie, whose wife went missing after a boating accident and is presumed dead. I give this book a pick as it was entertaining but found a few things underwhelming such as why Jane was running away from her past. In all, it‘s an entertaining story with a few twists, although predictable, it‘s still worthy of a read 🙂

This is a modern retelling of Jane Eyre set in USA. It has a few twists and turns, it was an enjoyable read, but it hasn't stayed with me.

Enjoyable modern retelling of Jane Eyre that kept my attention even though it wasn‘t hard to figure out where the story was going or what the big mystery would reveal. All of the characters were unreliable and I liked that it changed between 3 different POVs, even while the main narrator was Jane. Very entertaining! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

A retelling of Jane Eyre…so good! I was immediately sucked into the story and was hooked. The characters aren‘t particularly likable, but for this story, that works.

This was a fun one! While the pacing was off at the end and didn‘t think we needed Eddie‘s pov, I very much enjoyed this. I love me an unreliable narrator.

Definitely liked this book a lot! I was totally bought in because I knew there were going to be twists and I couldn‘t wait to see what was next and how things ended up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you @TheLudicReader for these gifts. Books came 4days after you sent email, other stuff arrived today. I didn't want to post them before, wanted to share the whole package together. But I opened books on February 14. Everything is so pretty💕❤

I really enjoyed this book! I always love a good thriller, and being that I grew up in the area where this book was written made it that much more enjoyable. I could picture the exact women she was writing about.

3-4-22: My 21st finished book of 2022! Jane is a dog walker in a gated community called Thornfield Estates when she meets Eddie Rochester. He is recently widowed, his wife Bea drowned in a boating accident with her best friend. Jane and Eddie fall for each other quickly but Jane is trying to live up to the image Bea has left behind. Fans of Jane Eyre will enjoy this retelling of the classic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣2️⃣1️⃣

Phew

A clever ‘Gone Girl‘ esque (tho not as crazy/gory) version of ‘Jane Eyre‘ (what a sentence). It‘s a bit predictable if you love the genre — but it‘s short, fast paced, and it‘s popcorn fun (as none of these characters are likeable).

This is how February #Roll100 is going to go. I did the collage a bit fast and it appears a little crooked. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️

So good! Totally understand the hype! I love a retelling and this one of Jane Eyre is now a favorite 😍 The perfect companion to my 5 mile walks the last few days as I try to meet my goal of 100 miles in January. Currently at 97.1 miles with 2 more days to meet my goal! #BFC22 @wanderinglynn #audiowalking #Pantone2022 @Clwojick #Dahlia

Finished this on audio today and I enjoyed it. I like being unsure of what's going on!

A Jane Eyre retelling where not a single character is likeable (except maybe the dog?) and they're all terrible people... despite that, I could not put it down. Definitely not the Jane I know and love, but it was certainly an entertaining read.

Started listening to the tagged audiobook while if finished making this little guy for my son. So far its fast paced and entertaining, with some seriously unlikable characters. Not sure if it's going to work for me or not... #audiocrochet

1. Just finished “Not a Happy Family” by Shari Lapena and about to start “The Wife Upstairs” by Rachel Hawkins.

2. Cold with a wintry mix. I live in metro Atlanta, and this is not common here.

3. Drink coffee and sit by the fire!

#weekendreads

An ok retelling of Jane Eyre, had some twists and turns but overall didn‘t like the characters and it just didn‘t excite me enough

#bookhaul 9 of my faves of the 90 books I read in 2021😍📚 Can't wait to add them to my shelves

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I went into this one assuming I wouldn‘t love it - I don‘t like Jane Eyre & I‘m generally not a huge fan of retellings. But, as usually happens, I‘m glad my book club chose this one that I wouldn‘t have picked on my own because I did end up having a great time reading it. It‘s a fast, twisty read, and I honestly can‘t say much without spoiling - but I will say, definitely worth checking out.

I meant to finish this last night but I got caught up playing ACNH and then watching tv with the fam. It was good. It took a bit to get all the storylines going ( a bit plodding setting the stage) and then the key bits started to fly. There were a few twists and turns at the end. I thought the ending might be harsher than it was

It‘s just a lot of drinking and reading at my house

More books, more baked goods and more coffee

It wasn‘t too bad. Quick read, with meh characters, and a few plot holes. Brought me one book closer to meeting my #Goodreads goal: 15/20

It is the absolute shittiest day for a walk.

#firstlinefridays I know I posted about this opener yesterday, but, what can I say? It's great.

Beautiful sunset audiowalk 😌🎧📚
I'm already hooked on this thriller!

#ThrillerThursday ⚰️

I am soooo excited to dig into this Jane Eyre thriller retelling. This first line has NOT disappointed.

3rd book read for the #20in4 #readathon
@Andrew65

This was an entertaining thriller set among catty, rich southerners. It had a bit of a modern gothic novel meets Jane Eyre flair with a twist. I liked it.

This wasn‘t my favourite Jane Eyre retelling but I still enjoyed it!

3.5 ⭐️ yay! One more off of my TBR list. It‘s always interesting to read books set in your home state and seeing familiar places and locations mentioned. #localauthor #alabamathebeautifil

Even tho I didn‘t quite see the end coming, this wasn‘t a great suspense. I dno why authors insist on writing a whole book with zero likeable characters. I felt so over their drama. The pace was also inconsistent and I only finished bc it picked up at the very end.

I really don't know what to think about this book it's wasn't bad or amazing but it kept me interested to see what happened. ⭐⭐⭐

This is one weird book or maybe interesting one. I'm too stubborn to stop now I need to know what happens 🤔🤨🧐🙄😒🤣😂😅

Onto the next book #16 📚📚📚

This modern spin on Jane Eyre was just okay. The story is pretty far-fetched in general and the twists were fairly predictable, but I will say it was still entertaining and I had to know what happened next. This is a rent, not buy. 3⭐️

This was a good read (listen). The characters were entertaining and the twist was good also. Nothing shocking that i didn‘t figure out half way in, but still good.

Pretty outrageous plot IMO. That being said, I was still eager to find out what happened.

This is one of two books I just picked up from the local library. Do you read book dust jackets or do you just dive in? #cumbiereads

I started this novel knowing very little about it, and was so surprised by the turn it took. I thought it was a true crime style novel and to see it transform into a modern telling of Jane Eyre was a treat. Every character is some how intriguing and unlikeable at the same time. I couldn‘t put it down.

The neighbors of Thornfield Estates play a big part in this retelling of Jane Eyre. The main character starts out as a dog walker in the neighborhood which gives her glimpses into their lives.
