My Review:
This book is a modern retelling of Jane Eyre. And is about a 19 year old girl Jane Moore. She just recently lost her parents, and she's trying to deal with their death while also trying to stay in school. So while she struggling with that, her sister is giving her a hard time. Like for one thing- Jane's sister doesn't want anything to do with Jane, what's so ever. Her brother disappear with no word of where he is... and finely her parents died and left her with no money and no where else to go.. So the only place is the school, but when she runs out of money to stay at the school.. She has no choice but to dropout and get a job.. So she gets a job, as being a Nanny, for this comeback young rock-star guy. And she takes care of his daughter Madeleine who is five year old. Who is so adorable, I really love her character, she was so cute.

Who is so adorable, I really love her character, she was so cute.
Anyways, when Jane first arrives at Thornfield Park, she finds out that Nico the owner of the household is no where to be seen and is always off on business. So she decides to to go for a walk, and see if she could find a good place to paint outside.. Because painting and drawing is her talent. So while on her walk, she almost gets run over by a guy and cursing at... She doesn't want anything to do with the man, so Jane walks on.. When she gets back to Thornfield Park, Jane finds the same sports car that almost ran her over, is park right in front of the house. She soon discovers that it was Nico who almost ran her over, the guy that's she suppose to be working with.. When she discovers more information about him, and see what he is and everything she could find... Jane starts to wonder what she's got herself into.
As her stay at Thornfield Park changes her in a big way, Jane begins to grow a close bond with Madeleine and also she slowly starts to have feelings for Nico. The more she gets to know the real him, but, at the same time she doesn't know what to do with these new feeling for someone, after the lost of her parents.. But also while there, weird and unexplained things start to happen in Thornfield Park.. And no one will explain to her, what's going on.... Is there a ghost haunting the halls of Thornfield Park? or, is Nico hiding something from her?
My Thoughts:
- Jane, was such a wonderful book. I love watching the movies of Jane Eyre when I was growing up, and enjoyed the the story... I can't wait to read Jane Eyre when I get a copy of my own. The other thing I enjoyed was how both stories were the same, but in different ways.
- I also enjoyed the the characters in this book too, and the love between Jane and Nico was so sweet, and makes you wonder if they will be together in the end. Oh, and don't forget the mystery in this book too.. Like what is Nico really hiding behind his walls and the truth that lies at... Thornfield Park!! And how Jane discovers the sad truth at the end.. So in other words this book was amazing..
- I definitely recommend this book, to anyone who enjoy reading or watching Jane Eyre, or is looking for something different..
-And I give this book 5/5 stars..
