It was such a thrilling story. I went into this thinking that it was going to be like a ghost story mixed with a sad romance. I was right on the sad romance part but really missed the point in the ghost part. It was psychological thriller and there were many unexpected things happening . When Maxim said "the look on her face while she was dying" I was like "How did you see that dude she died alone at sea. Then the twist, the twist hit so hard, it was better than many murder mystery novels. I'm still shook that Maxim actually killed Rebecca. Also I kept thinking that Rebecca was pregnant so the last twist was also unexpected to me. It was a very complex story and after the first ten pages I was hooked. I might read this again in the future since it was that good.

I feel like this is a really good book if you want to introduce yourself to classics. It's slow at times but moves into fast intense reading at other points. I found myself growing in and out of love with characters and was left questioning intentions for time after reading. HOWEVER even though I loved this book I found the main character/narrator intolerable at times.
