I read this during a trip to the seaside and absolutely loved it. The ending is obviously of its time but I thought it was really gripping and quite horrifying at times.

Would have given this 4-4.5 stars, BUT the last chapter pissed me off SOOO BAD. All of that inspiring, relatable 23-year-old-girl character development thrown away at the eleventh hour over

a MAN

. I loved hearing Mary’s internal debates with herself about what she wants from life, her goals, and her ability to reason with herself and stay level-headed even in times of great distress. I could even have let go of the predictable reveal at the end because of Mary’s bravery and De Maurier’s phenomenally descriptive and atmospheric writing, if it hadn’t been for the last few pages. Everything that I had come to relate and admire Mary for was thrown away like the rest of the book had never happened.
