anyway i thought it was interesting but not groundbreaking or anything. i saw one of the plot twists coming and the other was very underwhelming but the story itself was interesting enough
also maxim is so toxic and he annoys me 😒 the main character deserved better she’s too young to know how awful her situation was and she shouldn’t have been roped into everything
Moderate: Toxic relationship and Incest

I feel like so many problems would’ve been solved if they just fired Mrs. Danvers. If it was me her ass would’ve been kicked out immediately after what happened at the ball. That woman needs therapy.
However, the book became much less insufferable after the twist and I was actually enjoying the last third. I also thought the ending was really good. The only reason I can’t bring myself to give this a full 4 stars is because of how annoyed the first half made me.
Edit: As much as the first half of the book annoyed me and my complaints about Mrs. de Winter, I’ve thought of this story many times since I’ve completed it and it truly was a griping story that I think is deserving of its title as a classic.
Moderate: Suicide, Ableism, Death, Incest, and Murder
