3.0
A retelling of Jane Eyre (with a healthy dose of Gone Girl), some of the recycling of characters or lines were amusing. A quick read with most of the commitment to the story stemming from a desire to see just how much aligns with the classic novel.
Graphic: Addiction, Alcoholism, Confinement, Cursing, Death, Forced institutionalization, and Murder
