Thanks to Goodreads First Reads giveaway and Pamela Dorman Books for an ARC of this novel. 
 This update of Jane Eyre is set in the early 2000s, but resonated with my experience as a twenty-something today. While it is an update of Jane Eyre, Park throws in plenty of her own twists and turns. And her Jane is just as present and interesting as Bronte's. I also particularly enjoyed Park's update of Adele, a Chinese girl, Devon, who has been adopted into a white family. The relationship between Jane and Devon was probably my favorite to follow throughout the novel. 
 As a writer Park covered a lot of territory within 30o-something pages, and the narrative never felt choppy or rushed. She has a talent for cutting right to the heart of the matter, and painting pictures and revealing character in a short amount of time. This is a new voice I am very interested in following throughout her career. 
 At it's heart this is a coming-of-age novel. A novel about a woman finding herself, and being happy with exactly who she is. And that is something I can get behind.
