I love it. I can't believe I had a thought of DNF-ing it because of that long full of description first chapter.

It's a thick book but I think all of the things in it is necessary. If anything I want it to be longer because I ended up really loving the romance and there wasn't much of it! I want more of the romance!

I love that this book is slow and taking its time. This book also made me angry and frustrated and anxious especially because of some secondhand embarrassments that made me had to put it down for a while because I CAN'T. I am also feel like being so called out by this book because the main character's personality has a lot of similarities with me ughh although I also screamed at her for a lot of stuff that she did, but I knew it would pay off because we already "see the future" when the book started, so this book was like the main character telling us the story of her past, so it comforted me. So yeah. I love it and now I'm gonna look for some fanfiction of it on the internet because I do really need more of this romance.

Our young protagonist- who goes nameless- is swept off her feet by the handsome and rich Maxim de Winter and quickly becomes his wife. However the house they share is still haunted by the ghost of Maxim’s late wife and the titular Rebecca. The new Mrs de Winter is constantly in Rebecca’s shadow, not to mention that Rebecca’s old maid Mrs Danvers (who was infatuated with Rebecca) is constantly trying to undermine her. 

This is a gothic horror story with plenty to analyse. It’s almost a psychological horror. The plot is fantastic, the characters are messy and real, and the ending is spectacular. I guessed the “twist” but honestly even if you see it coming this book is enjoyable.

This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I didn't see that plot twist coming and I was on the edge of my seat for the last 150 pages.
