Brenda, you've traveled a lot, right? Something in there should work.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

God, yes. That was a great bit.
Holy hell yeah. Thank god I'm not the only one just wibbling over that. I can't emphasize that enough. I think I squeaked. Despite seeing it in preview earlier.
I've seen two other versions of JE, and I think I like this one best. But it's been a while since I've seen the others. This Jane I thought awfully pretty, but unconventionally so, and I was able to give her pass on that.

Because books.
God, yes. That was a great bit.
Oh my, yes. And Toby Stephens has a dedicated new fan here.
My only quibble is the ending. That was a bit ... impossibly fairy tale for me, especially since the book ends in a perfectly lovely way as it is. I got they were tying it in to her childhood, but although I think the book did emphasize Jane's sadness at her lack of a family, it wasn't the whole point to me. So that bugged.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Hmm. I've been an official election observer in Mexico. And I've been a lot of places.
Okay, I should be able to get this together. It's hard because I am so new, you know? There's so much (internal) pressure to make an impression, and at the same time people don't know me so they don't know that I'm not..., I don't know. I want things to be interesting but I don't want to be all, oh, I'm so cool...also, I maybe need to get over some of this self-deprecating shit.

Is this JE replaying?
Also, they changed the ending? How so?

There was a really fantastic flashback that just...ummm.
I kept thinking in that section. "His hands are HUGE!...They're the size of her head...I wonder if Steph is watching this."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Recorded and watching during a down spell. Although I'm having a migraine, and the match is so cool that relaxation is hard.
Federer also looks like he has the softest skin.
That is how I calm myself.
Not working too well.

Yeah, I thought so too, and it seemed especially weird since it was a fairly dark portrayal otherwise.

Yeah, but... I'm with you. It was kinda like huh? Show me the moment "Reader, I married him." Show me Rochester seeing his kid's eyes! Show me Jane being his eyes and all that. At least they included Adele. But still the guh moment! OK, I'm a little obsessed with that. Cause, guh! But the point was the romance. With a confused emotional jackass, which I now see and which kinda freaks me out as I adored that trope but anyway...
