Have you ever had a book that you have been eyeing up for a couple of years and you keep meaning to read it, but something comes up every-time and then one day you decide I am going to read "that book". For me that was "A Breath of Eyre". As readers of my reviews will know I am a big fan of renditions, the other thing though that I love and is one of my all-time favourite Classic tale is Jane Eyre. In this book we meet Emma , who after her mother died went to live with her father and aunt Barbara. Emma then was shipped off to a prestigious boarding school as a scholarship student , along with one of her prized possessions - a first edition of Jane Eyre which was her mother's favourite book. This book shows readers that Emma seems to be the type of girl with a death wish as she is always seemingly ending up in a hospital bed. The thing is though, that prior to waking up in a hospital bed - Emma finds herself transported into her own living and breathing copy of Jane Eyre where she is Jane and is working for Mr. Rochester. Unlike most copies of Jane Eyre renditions, what I loved about this book was that it tends to focus a lot more on the character of Bertha rather than the romance between Jane and Mr. Rochester. In A Breath of Eyre, Emma starts to notice similarities between Bertha and her mum before she died. When she does return back to reality - will Emma be able to live as Emma or will her heart still be with Jane ? Also of course, what's a book without a little romance as we see Emma's heart flicker between three guys - Owen , Gray and Mr. Gallagher ? Which guy will become Emma's version of Mr. Rochester or will she settle for something more important than a Mr. Rochester ?Find out in this awesome novel and for those who are interested in finding out which literary character you are like, there is a quiz at the back of the book in which you total up the highest result of letters. For me , I got 5 each for A and B - so I am a mixture between Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennett and then on Eve's site you can do a quiz to find out who your literary soulmate is and I received Mr. Darcy :)

A Breath of Eyre Unbound Eve Marie Mont Books Reviews
I love stories about underdogs. Emma in A Breath of Eyre is the definition of an underdog She goes to a fancy prep school as a scholarship student and prefers the company of fictional characters instead of her fellow classmates.
She doesn't mind, however, the company of one, Gray Newman. Gray is Emma's long-time friend and a new-found cutie. Sadly, though, Gray has a reputation for liking fast girls and partying hard.
At the beginning of the story, Emma is soft-spoken and friendless. Her transformation throughout the story is compelling, and it drew me through the book.
I did have some difficulties with the book, but I'll get to those in a sec.
First, let's talk about dear ole Jane and Emma. What A Breath of Eyre does really well is feminism. Emma is asked to write a paper with a unique take on one of the classics, and she chooses Jane Eyre, which was recently given to her as a birthday present.
After strange events lead Emma to reliving Jane stories in real life, her original view of Mr. Rochester and Jane's romance is irrevocably changed. If you're a die hard fan of this book, it may take away some of the romance for you, but I think what you'll gain in ideas about female strength and character more than make up for the loss.
Plus, there's a ton of themes in the book about second chances and forgiveness, and those topics happen to be favorites of mine as well. Not to mention there is a ton of melty romantic scenes to make me happy.
So, now for my beef - A Breath of Eyre does a lot of things well, like I said before, but the things it did poorly were enough to annoy me.
First off, the "time-traveling" aspect of the book is explained briefly at the beginning of the novel in a physics class. It's said that if time travel were possible, people who went back in time wouldn't be able to change anything - only live it themselves.
Here's the problem it's obvious that explanation is meant to show how it's possible Emma is living in Jane Eyre's world...but the thing is Jane Eyre is a FICTION novel. Not actual historical events. So, plot hole there.
Then, Emma's in a love square. She's interested in at least four different people (including two older men) throughout the story. Although the story follows her changes of heart and attraction, it's still weird to think about her fleeting emotions.
Lastly, the A Breath of Eyre is told in past tense. That's an oddity in YA for sure, and it threw me off at times. It felt like old news, you know? Like, oh, you already did all of these things, so what are you doing now?
OVERALL
There are a few things that took away from the historical romance and time-traveling story of Emma, the shy bookworm, and her adventures with Mr. Darcy, but overall I really enjoyed this novel. A Breath of Eyre is a strong feminist take on Jane Eyre without taking away from the other book's romance and message; definitely recommended to Charlotte Bronte fans.
