Reaching Eddie by Heidi Vine
4.75

Reaching Eddie is a steamy modern-day sapphic retelling of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. If you don't know that story and how many weird, unbelievable, crazy twists and turns it has this story may not make much sense, but it's actually a bit less kooky than the classic. Reaching Eddie has great characters, stays (for the most part) true to the original, where it diverges makes sense in a modern setting, and is really well written. Oh, and the steamy bits are...quite steamy. I think that if I didn't know the story of Jane Eyre and all of this crazy was thrown together in one book I might have given it a lower rating, but I do, so I'm giving it a solid 4.75, rounded to 5 on other sites.

I received a free ARC from the author, but my review is unbiased and left voluntarily.
