June 2012 issue of VOYA:“Mont has created a heroine nearly as engaging as her alter ego…readers will identify with and care about Emma and her obligation to choose between her own story and one concluded over 160 years ago. Offer this title to any lovers of romantic classics, and they will eagerly await the promised sequels.”
• “Mont develops girl-empowering themes…Mont has combined the contemporary language of her modern heroine with the Victorian prose of Brontë… a way to introduce a teenager to Victorian prose.” - The Historical Novels Review
"Mont’s debut novel in her new series is a respectful homage to Charlotte Brontë’s classic...also touches on the stigma of mental illness, artfully connecting circumstances from both Jane and Emma’s experiences. This is a contemporary introduction to Jane Eyre for those who haven’t read it, and an insightful, fresh view for those who have. More than that, it’s a chance for readers to literally step into Jane’s shoes." – Booklist
“[A] romantic, time-slipping reimagining that addresses finding a voice in writing and in life.” – Publishers Weekly
