Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
3.0
OOooooooooooh my god, that was long. I put off reading it until now because it's so long.
I'm glad I finally read it because it's hilariously weird, but also genuinely good. The first third of this book is amazing.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I started to lose my will to live every time Mr. Rochester or St. John would speak. And so much of this book is them speaking. I was groaning on the inside the entire time. Pleeeeeeeeease shut up.
Also, Mr. Rochester is insane. I find it hard to believe she didn't get sick of his shit at some point.
I don't really get how she's not okay with being his mistress, but she IS okay with his games.
I get it, he seems to be able to read your mind sometimes and you guys can scream across the abyss to each other but...he's pretty annoying.
