BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk not one freaking thing. Boys are dumb 🤷🏻‍♀️ 8mo
Ruthiella When I first read this in my 20s, I was swooning…now I‘m all RED FLAGS 🚩 Nameless Narrator!!!! 8mo
rubyslippersreads Hmmm, is Jan‘s name really Joan? 🤣 8mo
Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 8mo
ElizaMarie Um…. “I suppose you are young enough to be my daughter‘ ❓❗ Jan, honey, how old is he? 8mo
TheAromaofBooks @ElizaMarie - Well, she says that she “wishes she was 36“ so I'm assuming that he's somewhere around 40 😬 8mo
Ruthiella @ElizaMarie 😂 I can just see the look of concern on Carol Brady‘s face! 8mo
dabbe Jan (perfect name @Ruthiella! 🤩) = Jane in JANE EYRE
Maxim = Rochester in JANE EYRE
So many likenesses to these two books and characters! 😱
8mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe there are so many similarities! 8mo
julieclair Oh poor Jan, she‘s really got it bad. And I actually think Mrs. van Hopper‘s description of Max was spot on: “queer-tempered, I should think, difficult to know.” 8mo
Roary47 Hmmm. Young and innocent Jan. Jealousy does not become your lack of details. 🤣 8mo
ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks ah that checks out. 40 and she is 21. Okay. Not great but…. Ugh! That is such a huge power dynamic - age, status 8mo
TheAromaofBooks @ElizaMarie - I agree. Like she is an adult and out on her own, but he's definitely going to hold all the cards, especially because it's obvious that she has an uncertain, tentative personality (at this age, anyway). She's going to be so dependent on him for direction and affirmation. 8mo
willaful @dabbe Except that Jane has a very strong sense of self and character. 7mo
dabbe @willaful Agree 💯. 7mo
