I love Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. This novel just proves what I already suspected. Such a brilliant story can't be improved upon. I tried with this novel. But I've figured out the twist already, and honestly? It made me feel kind of ticked off. Retellings aren't supposed to completely spit on the original work. And the original work was a love story as much as it was a thriller.
So yeah.
I don't recommend this book.
Even if the writing is atmospheric and lovely.
Sometimes it's better not to mess with a good thing.
