Synopsis
Jane has lived an ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia—an adjunct professor and deep sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make the world feel expansive and to turn life into an adventure. But Aunt Magnolia was lost a few months ago in Antarctica on one of her expeditions.
Now, with no direction, a year out of high school, and obsessed with making umbrellas that look like her own dreams (but mostly just mourning her aunt), she is easily swept away by Kiran Thrash—a glamorous, capricious acquaintance who shows up and asks Jane to accompany her to a gala at her family’s island mansion called Tu Reviens.
Jane remembers her aunt telling her: “If anyone ever invites to you to Tu Reviens, promise me that you’ll go.” With nothing but a trunkful of umbrella parts to her name, Jane ventures out to the Thrash estate. Then her story takes a turn, or rather, five turns. What Jane doesn’t know is that Tu Reviens will offer her choices that can ultimately determine the course of her untethered life. But at Tu Reviens, every choice comes with a reward, or a price.

Welcome to my Penguin Teen tour stop for Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore. In this post, I have pickedtwo of my favorite characters in Jane, Unlimited and paired them with what I think are the perfect tea flavors based on their personalities and traits.
Please note both teas are based off drinks that I have ordered at Starbucks or come across while visiting other coffee/tea shops. I have no affiliation with the company. I just love Starbucks, tea, and literary characters. For your own benefit, I have linked the noted tea drink to its ingredient page.
While I was reading Jane, Unlimited, I became obsessed with Starbucks’ London Fog tea latte. This tea is refreshing and calming just like the main character Jane. I love that Jane is very sarcastic, observant, and so quick-witted. And in comparison to this tea blend, Jane often comes off sweet, but this daring heroine also has a striking boldness to her.
The scenes in Jane, Unlimited are limitless, and one of my favorite parts of the book was the focus on the friendship that develops between Jane and the basset hound, Jasper. Jasper is like a sweet sip of a Chai Tea Latte. This loyal dog is very protective, brave, and is not afraid to protect Jane from art thieves. Throughout the novel, Jasper proves to be an excellent companion (and an “excellent speller”…hahaha), and in comparison to the noted Chai Tea Latte, Jasper is warm and comforting.
