Extremely well written and engaging book, at the last third the genre almost changed and I couldn't put it down. I like reading the stream of thought of Mrs. De Winter. I wish I knew her first name, but I guess it serves a very important purpose of showing she is not confident in her own personality at the moment. She simply filled in the place of the last Mrs. De Winter, which make her compare herself to her and feel inferior all the time. The way she overthinks is very relatable to me although a bit exaggerated. I didn't like the way she acted sometimes especially with Maxim, but they say love is blind. With the exception of Agatha Christie books, this is the most enjoyable classic I have read. I loved it because everytime I pick it up I am instantly engaged even if it's just describing the garden. Because even the weather plays a part in the emotional development of the story. Ugh when it FINALLY RAINED the moment Favell came and revealed the note, it seemed as if everything would be destroyed. When it was so very cold and she kept having flashes of manderley and its memories, they came back to ashes and ruins. Rebecca was scary even as a ghost. I believe she did win in the end. She wanted a fast death and she was already dying of cancer, Max helped her achieve her goal, that's why she died laughing.
As soon as I finished the book I reread the first two chapters and it felt immensely different than the first time! I finally knew what she was talking about, it was vague then. Which goes to show that cognitive bias influences the way we process everything. That was the most important message I learnt from the book. Overall, Such an amazing experience ♡
