Why can't I wait?I devoured 2010's Jane in a matter of hours, so I was especially excited to see April Lindner was taking on another Bronte sister's classic tale, set in the modern world.
I got this one from Edelweiss. I'm excited to read it because I am a huge fan of Wuthering Heights. I've not read Jane before, so this will be my first April Linder book.

My WOW
Hmmm... sounds interesting. I've never really gotten into retellings of anything but fairy tales and Austen, but this sounds intriguing. Nice pick!
