I’ve been *this* close to DNFing this for the last hundred pages or so. But I think I’m seeing the vision again.
Charlotte sure loves her cranky, brooding male authority figures, doesn’t she?
I feel like these characters are less likable than those in Jane Eyre, but yet more realistic people?? I think most of us who want to be Jane are really Lucy.

I'm reading this at a snail's pace

Lucy Snowe being like "yeah I knew it was Graham for a while now but I just didn't want to say anything" is such a funny choice. I love her

Struggling to get into this one (probably because I'm reading it in only 5 min spurts) but what strikes me about it is how modern both the narrative and the narratorial voice feel. Lucy feels like she could exist today.
