daphne why... I was so bored for most of the book. it brought up really intriguing plots of possible murder or manipulation and so on and then never spent enough time on it to flesh it out and make it interesting. it spent so much time on things that could've been cut way down. the only reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1 is because I worry some of my dislike comes from my brains automatic reaction of comparing it to the far superior rebecca which isn't fair to this book. I did not care about any of these characters so good riddance I'm so glad I finished it.
