Boy, Ira Levin had to have a ginormous pair of cojones to end the story the way he did in 1967!
The scariest part of this story was the gaslighting honestly and Rosemary was so damn naive, but overall this was super easy to read and pretty enjoyable. Levin’s did a fantastic job of meshing Rosemary’s dreams and her actual surroundings imo, as well as sowing the seeds of unease about the MC and if she is experiencing paranoia or if there truly is a massive conspiracy against her.
Biggest takeaways from this book:
1. Don’t marry anyone named Guy.
2. Don’t answer the door just bc folks knock.
3. (And I thought this was a given) Someone that has ONLY black candles definitely deserves the side eye 👀
Currently thanking my lucky stars to have been born 30 years later bc I was not built for the 60’s 😮💨
