Texts from Jane Eyre

A New York Times–bestselling book of hilariously imagined text conversations from classic and modern literary characters from Medea to Harry Potter.

"Lavery hilariously proves that he understands fictional characters better than they understand themselves. He makes me laugh like no one else." —Rainbow Rowell, bestselling author of Landline and Eleanor & Park


Daniel M. Lavery, the co-creator of the cult-favorite website The Toast, presents this whimsical collection of hysterical text conversations from your favorite literary characters. Everyone knows that if Scarlett O'Hara had an unlimited text-and-data plan, she'd constantly try to tempt Ashley away from Melanie with suggestive messages. If Mr. Rochester could text Jane Eyre, his ardent missives would obviously be in all-caps. And Daisy Buchanan would not only text while driving, she'd text you to pick her up after she totaled her car. Based on the popular web-feature, Texts from Jane Eyre is a witty, irreverent mashup that brings the characters from your favorite books into the twenty-first century.

"This is the best kind of English-major humor. There's not a weak point in the book; it's terrific, snicker-inducing fun throughout." —Library Journal (starred review)
