Never have I met to more frustrating and made for each other main characters than Maxim De Winter and the Nameless Mrs. De Winter. Like god damn they were awful people and they are absolutely perfect for each other. 

I really liked this. I did, at times, find the narrator to be unbearably annoying but it worked for this story. Also Rebecca was a cunt but also Maxim literally doesn't fuck so it's all a wash. 

Anyway where is the reboot where Mrs. Danvers and Rebecca have a torrid affair.
