5.0

I love this because I love Rebecca; I want to be Rebecca. Max is a wet noodle and I find the narrators continual commitment to being accessory after the fact somewhat …relaxing? Hm. 

The whole plot rests on a rather ableist stereotype of a character, which does temper my excitement a bit as a neurodivergent and physically disabled individual.

5/5, still no reason to read other novels of the same ilk.
