A BREATH OF EYRE by Eve Marie Mont
Emma Townsend has always believed in stories—the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she creates in her head. Perhaps it’s because she feels like an outsider at her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn’t come close to filling the void left by her mother’s death. And her only romantic prospect—apart from a crush on her English teacher—is Gray Newman, a long-time friend who just adds to Emma’s confusion. But escape soon arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre…
Reading of Jane’s isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane’s body and her nineteenth-century world. As governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she’s never known—and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Rochester. Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane’s story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own…

Hello! :D
Especially given how my internets seem to be full of Eyre retellings and re-imaginings, this one looks more interesting every time I see it. So I've added it on goodreads.
Already marked to read on Goodreads, and the trailer just makes me more anxious for your release date!! :)
A Breath of Eyre is one of my most anticipated books this year - can't wait!

Thanks, Amber! I am thrilled (and very nervous) by how many people love Jane Eyre.

Looking forward to your book. Love the name Gray Newman. I'm swooning already! It's been added to my Goodreads list :)
This sounds amazing!!! I don't like Jane Eyre, which I blame my English Literature teacher for, but this sounds like something right up my alley...and you are doing The Scarlet Letter next as well! OH JOY!!! To read on Goodreads!
Yay, Prerna, thanks for joining the race!
Julie, I'm so glad you like Gray Newman already; I've got quite the soft spot for him as well.
And Hannah, I'm so sorry your English teacher ruined Jane Eyre for you; I hope you like my twist on it anyway!
