This was destined to be a 5-star-read, I knew after the first few days (since it is a quite long read). Immensely vivid and beautiful writing and quotes. Despite the depth, it was filled with humor and PLENTY of plot twists + there was some serious life advice in there. The description of the characters and sceneries, the metaphors, Jane‘s feelings, everything was so detailed that I felt like I was right there. Mixed feelings about certain characters (Mr. Rochester …) though… However, Jane has become one of my favorite and most relatable heroines. I love her so much.
