My Plain Jane | Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand
Mehso-so

LIKES: Bertha! Helen! DISLIKES: Jane. Inaccurate critic of women‘s clothing. Pop culture references made by characters. The very very ending. UNSURE: writing style and framing reminds me of Theodora Gross, but it‘s the author characters who comment for a humor gimmick rather than improving the story. Which is weird... since Bronte is in the story, and the original had Jane talking to the readers, not Charlotte. #classicretelling #JaneEyre

LIKES: 1) the answer to what lies between Riley‘s legs... perfect. 2) great characters, everyone feels like a complete person even though we only see into Riley‘s head. 3) the ending is only the beginning DISLIKES: 1) all the advice is good, no mistakes on that were made by Riley which felt unreal 2) gender IS fluid, but very binary, never mix and match. #gender #lgbtqia+ #represent #ya4life
