The Reading Rush 2019

I've been a big fan of Jane The Virgin for a looong time, so obviously I had to pick this up... I just wish that it weren't so bad.

I never expected this book to be my favorite or anything, but this was just terrible. For one, it's just a rehashing of the series, and barely passes as historical. Not to mention how boring and bland the writing is.

But even worse than all that, is what they did to Jane (or Josephine in the book). They made her cheat and betray her fiance, something that never happened in the show, therefor making her lose a lot of the sympathy I had for Jane's situation. I understand that artificial insemination couldn't have happened in the 1900's like it can now, but that's no excuse. Jane would NEVER do that to the person she loves just because of a small little attraction. It's beyond upsetting, and really made it hard to root for "Josephine".

The only reason this didn't get a full 1 star is because that ending was super sweet, and even in this disaster of a book Michael was still lovable.
