Jane & Edward: A Modern Reimagining of Jane Eyre by Melodie Edwards

If you love modren retellings and legal drama television series Suits, you will love this! I had so much fun with this one. The main reason this book worked so well for me is because of the dynamic between Jane and Edward.
The tension and chemistry between them felt very natural and there was plenty of snappy dialogues between the two which make for some grin-worthy moments. Overall this was such a entertaining and refreshing read.I was shocked that this was a debut and I am so excited to see what Melodie comes out with next!!!

I loved Toronto being the back drop to this story. This is a Jane Eyre adaptation about a foster kid who has aged out of the system and a Bay Street lawyer. This was heartwarming, funny and empowering.
