This was a haunting and beautiful story. Reading from the veiw of a young woman who feels as if she is living in the shadow of the woman who came before her. She struggles in a competition and the fear of not being better than her and watching the mystery of the ex wife, Rebecca's life played out and who she was as a person. It made me want to pat her on her back and tell her she is enough and also slap her and tell her to knock it off. When I started this book I thought it was a book about a ghost. It wasn't a haunting I was expecting but more of a mental haunting.
