This book is one that you'll either love, hate or really stumped on. I adore Jane Eyre, its been my favourite novel since I was around about 11 and so Jane Eyre retellings excite me to a high degree. 'Jane Eyre on Social Media' is exactly what it says: a retelling of Jane Eyre that takes place via text chains, newspapers, tweets and forums. Now this is intriguing and such a fun concept but I found the writing almost too cringey to bare with at times and it just felt uncomfortable for me to fully enjoy this concept.

A tongue in cheek retelling of Jane Eyre; doubt it would make much sense to someone unfamiliar with the original. It's fine as a parody, but disappointing in all ways as a stand alone novel, lacking narrative, theme and characterization.
