I don't know what I was expecting from this book. First, is a modern book ( telephone, electricity) I thought that it was a Victorian era book. You always hear the same thing about Rebecca. That Rebecca is dead and how she is still much presence in the house. About the book being gothic. But I really didn't know about the plot and I was pleasantly surprised. I never imagined the twist and the ending. Rebecca was a very mean person and had very little empathy toward the others. She controlled her story and how people will perceive her. And all these with the help of her Nanny.

This book grabbed me by the lapels, whispered: you won't be able to put me down, you're not gonna predict a single plottwist and you will read the beginning immediately after finishing the last chapter. And it was't lying ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
