Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

If I didn't ask myself "why would you say that?" at leas 500 times reading this book I'd be totally lying. Wow, everyone was so unhinged on god.
I had a GREAT time reading/listening to this book. I got a free trial on Audible just to listen to this when it got hard because I absolutely thought I was going to drag myself through this but I had a blast!! I'm so sad it's over. I spent my afternoons listening to this madness then spend my nights reading listening to the rain. It was really an amazing experience for me. This book was NOTHING like I thought it would be. It had several things I didn't see coming and maybe it was because I was too entertained with everything that I didn't have the time to actually analyze what could happen next.
The main character is stupid af. I know she is young and she hasn't been all around and doesn't know about anything in life but oh my god, get some self steem girl. I was rooting for her from page ONE and this girl NEVER delivered (except for like 5 pages, I was so proud of her) but yeez, she got on my nerves almost every single page. And that husband was... I don't know. I wanted to read this because Taylor Swift said it inspired her to write tolerate it and that's one of my favorite songs from evermore so of course I needed to see what this was all about and I mean, I do think he could've done more but I don't read this and think "yeah, he tolerates her" like I don't know once everything was said and done, he was actually decent.
All the characters were great and had a purpose which I looooooved because long books have this thing where they involve a bunch of forgettable people that I couldn't care less about and they aren't even likeable, but everyone in here did what they had to do and for that I'm grateful.
I'd love to re read this in a few months, when I forget about everything that just happened and have a blast once again. Thank you Daphne du Maurier and thank you Taylor Swift.
