I’ve had this in my TBR pile for a couple of years, when I had initially seen it I had been really intrigued but then there was something which always put me off starting. Now I’m so glad I finally read it. I really enjoyed it and there were times I was laughing so hard my husband thought there was something genuinely wrong with me. I would recommend!

I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

I'm honestly so upset I waited so long to get into this one! This is such a brutal and raw book that displays so much honesty I'm sure all of us can relate too in one way or another. Jane works hard to keep up the perfect, happy, and smiley facade. But when given earth shattering news and facing a heartbreaking betrayal, inevitably Jane snaps.

Watching her lie and and bend over backwards to keep up this perfect life front was equal parts sad and so very relatable. We don't want others to know that the life we portray on Instagram may not be the whole truth. It also resonated with me deeply that sometimes you can do everything right, plan your life perfectly, yet you can still experience pain and misfortune. Watching her take the mask off and live her truth was the very best part of the story. There were also some truly amusing parts interspersed! Really great read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This was a cute, fun book. Honestly, not that memorable - but I did laugh at some parts during the book.

See Jane Snap was a hilarious and entertaining read overall. I felt bad for her in many parts because I tried to put myself in her shoes and imagine how I would react to the news and betrayal that she has to go through at those moments.
An enjoyable read altogether that many will love.

This is Quite the Story, as we follow Jane's life or what is hanging by several threads.

Its a good read. I laughed and gasped, and shook my head in disbelief.

Enjoyable.

DNF - Did not finish. I did not connect with the writing style or plot and will not be finishing this title. Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

Entertaining, Honest…
Jane has it all. The perfect family, the perfect life. Unfortunately, that’s all on the surface. Underneath is a whole different ballgame. Then Jane snaps. Horribly, brutally. Open hearted romp, candid and funny, with a quirky and eccentric cast. Entertaining and honest.

Can we talk about relatable? I thoroughly enjoyed reading about seemingly normal Jane and her life as it all falls down around her. Can she keep it together? As the title tells us, that answer is no. Jane can only take so much when she learns some world-shattering news.

This book did it for me. The craziness of domesticity under the guise of normal is something many people can relate to. I know I did and I believe that's why this novel is now in my top ten favorites. Check it out!

This was an interesting book. Sometimes laugh out loud funny with situations that were plausible and others that were outrageous. The egregious error that took me out of the story was when Jane stole the zoloft. I think she probably meant a xanax or valium.

This book has a lot going on in it! Unfortunately, I might be the wrong audience for this book. The characters just did not resonate with me and they came across as highly unlikeable.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for my honest review,

There's so much about "See Jane Snap" that I enjoyed, and I think it will resonate well with a number of women.

Jane has worked hard to craft her ideal life - she's married a successful surgeon, ensured her daughter attends private school, and is the head of the PTA. All of her hard work starts to fall apart though when her husband reveals his infidelity with another man, and so Jane is forced to lie and try to maintain her perfect exterior all while everything is actually imploding within her life. There's a lot of questions and points that this novel points out, especially when it comes to the pressures placed on women, repressed anger, and the importance of being honest with oneself.

There's so much in the novel that's relatable, and I appreciated the humor that Crandell was able to weave in between all the chaos and anger.

Thank you so much to Let's Talk Books Promo, Bethany Crandell, and Montlake Publishing for the advanced copy of See Jane Snap.

Jane has had herself quite the life. She went from a barely making it waitress to the wife of a well respected and sough out heart surgeon. Little did Jane know though, her entire life has been a lie. Her husband has been hiding a huge part of his life. Her "friends" are each keeping secrets. Her daughter is keeping secrets. Jane herself has been keeping secrets herself. Until one night, she snaps. Her snapping is uncharacteristic & it's a huge snap. It's a snap that could cause all sorts of problems for everyone in her life. Jane is fortunate enough to have people on her side and they help to make sure that her life doesn't literally go down the drain.

See Jane Snap is a look into all the burdens we carry and how we react to them. To me, Jane's snapping wasn't just he snapping when she almost lost everything, it was her snap judgements she made. She made snap judgments on the women who she surrounded herself with at the beginning of the story. She snapped judged the women she met later. She even snap judged her own family. I thought that this story was an engrossing story on human nature. It had moments of stress and moments of levity.

The premise sounded great and so I was excited to start reading this. But it quickly became clear that this ultimately would not be the book for me. I found the main character to be grating and quite superficial, and I became so annoyed with her that I had a hard time reading more than two chapters at a time. I endured it for as long as I could, but sadly I never did enjoy my time spent with this book.

The main character in this story sure had me cracking up a lot. I loved Jane and this story is so becoming of her as we see her snap.. This is a book list can relate to, not Jane’s particularly situation but the moment you snap and the second guessing and consequences after the fact. An enjoyable funny empathetic read.

“People get upset all the time, it doesn’t mean their feelings change”

Handsome, successful husband. Adorable daughter. Chairwoman of the PTA. Security for her ailing mom. Jane’s got everything life has to offer. Including the lie that could destroy it all.

Do you like it when a book doesn’t take itself too seriously? because I do! I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started this book, but I found this to be a fun read! It’s not very deep and carries a humorous tone even though our protagonist is dealing with a lot of stressful situations. This was a great palate cleanser in between more serious reads.

This was just the right read for me at the moment. I think every woman can relate to many parts of this story of Jane who is tired from putting on a smile everyday and acting like her life is fine. For Jane, life is the opposite of fine. Her husband is hiding a secret that will change their lives, her teenage daughter is close to becoming a juvenile delinquent, her sister is constantly asking for Jane to help her out and her mother does not recognise her most of the time. But still she smiles, acts like life is fine and orders the salad when she really wants a burger. And then one day, it all becomes too much and someone not putting their trolley away in the supermarket car park is the last straw and Jane gets arrested. Will it be the catalyst to a life change? You have to read this and find out. Funny, heartbreaking and uplifting, this one has it all and I loved it.
