I got this book because I'm a fan of the show, Jane The Virgin so I thought that picking it up would only be natural. I was right.

I liked the book, it describes things in great deal and makes you feel really in the moment, tho some may find it cheesy - like the cover

I was so excited for this book and I couldn’t even finish it. I expected the charm and wit of the writing on the show. This felt like an underbaked, rushed cash grab. 

A better book would have draw on themes in the show to give us a new story. This one just rehashed the plot points of the series, making Jane seem unable to write creatively. It definitely felt like it was plotted by committee.

There are books you read because you’re after a well written story, and there are others you read because you’re hungry for something familiar and comforting. This is definitely the latter.

As a romance novel, Snow Falling is not good. The writing is a bit stilted, the romance is lackluster, and the historical inaccuracies are stark. But as a Jane the Virgin devotee, it was fun to pick up Jane’s novel and dive back into that world for a day. It’s a shame it wasn’t a better book, but as a total marketing plot it wasn’t a total waste of my library resources.

This was super cute! I can't imagine anyone reading it if they don't watch Jane the Virgin. I love seeing how they translate the story to 1900. It's exactly what you'd expect Jane's book to sound like. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to read the narrator's voice in the voice of the show narrator or in the voice of modern Jane, but I think both can work. It makes me want to rewatch the entire show now!

The book is like the serie but in another time line. If you like drama, this is a good book for that.

This one is strictly for Jane the Virgin fans... but if you're a fan, this is so much fun. Check out the audiobook version for some familiar, very entertaining voices.

The writing is amazing, the way the characters are written is beautiful and of course the happy ending “Jane” wrote is something I cried over for about an hour

I adored Jane the Virgin, and thought I would love this book...it took me 7 years, but I finished it. LOL! I just could not get into it. But it's a piece of the show & I will keep it always.
