Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
5.0
This is the type of writing style that I love. The sentences are so beautiful and eloquent: they really take me to another place. For that reason, I knew I was going to love this book from the very first page. And I did! So much so, that I've already purchased the two sequels 'Mrs de Winter' and 'Rebecca's Tale'.
When starting this novel I, like an avid reader, became entranced by the protagonist and their love interest. However, after finally telling the nameless protagonist / narrator that he loves her "so much, so much", I began seeing Maxim as a manipulator. That one confession of love completely changed my view of Maxim and how I interpreted his actions and words for the rest of the book.
Although, I was never a fan of Rebecca either. Of course I'm not justifying Maxim's actions when I say this, but I never liked her. I aways had a foreboding nagging feeling about her that was shrouded in negativity and darkness even from the first mention of her. I'm excited to see how her story progresses in the two sequel novels.
Overall, I absolutely adored this book! The narrative was presented really well and left room was suspense that made it such as page-turner. I would 100% reccomend this novel to multiple friends.
