I need to firstly applaud the author for succeeding at pun titles, considering the book being read is Jane Eyre, and the story ends up revolving amongst the girls in different vacation spots. Although told in the POV of five girls, which wasn’t done well, the story seemed to focus a lot on Megan and Becca who are both close friends. Megan has it all well; a new kitten, a trip to Paris with her glamorous grandmother Gigi, and a chance to write a fashion blog, but everything seems crushed when her mother brings in a French girl who is adored by all and has stolen all the limelight off Megan. Becca meanwhile is trying to tame the jealousy that creeps upon her when she sees Megan’s lavish vacation when she is simply going to a nearby state where her book-loving grandmother resides. But both will find that ends meet, but sometimes right at the end of the noose and will discover that each individual has to carve their own path to happiness. Jess and Emma are both concerned about their brother’s behavior whilst Cassidy wonders which position on the ice rink would suit the hockey player she is; and the girl she is on the inside. I found it incredibly hard to relate to these high school girls because some had perfect lives completely unflawed and their travails were just annoying. I overall hated most of the characters and the storyline and I don’t think it was worth it whatsoever to read! Perhaps the younger audiences would like it but I certainly didn’t!
