The writing/description is beautiful, but I didn't fall in love with this one as much as so many insisted I would. I'd say it's 3.5 stars for me. Maybe just not quite the right read for me right now?

Um, this was SO good and enjoyable? Why didn't I read it sooner? Why wasn't it assigned in school? I have so many essay ideas. This was perfect reading for the miserably hot and humid start to August.

My mom has been telling me to read this book for ages and I wish I had read it sooner!! Loved the classic writing style and the storyline and everything. 10/10

first quarter is really stunning and sets such high expectations that the rest of the book kinda squashes through its pacing, characters, and repetitive bore

Suffocating atmospherics. A narrator who sees very little of the big picture. We learn as she does what is happening in the story. Manderly, the de Winter estate, has seen its share of tragedy. Mrs. Danvers projects steely, icy resolve. Mrs. de Winter attempts to make sense of a new, glamorous world. And everyone is touched by their association with Rebecca.
