11.68% "Why are they not saying the name of the protagonist?! Well, I won't Google it.
Also Max is twice her age? Or older?"

16.36% "This story of how they meet in Monte Carlo and how Max proposes is romantic on paper. I should be 'aww'ing all over it, but there is something so melancholic and offhanded about the way it's written that I want to shout at the protagonist 'DON'T GO TO MANDERLEY, YOU FOOL'"

page 119
27.8% "Every time they take Rebecca's name, it feels like a blasphemy, as though the protagonist is inching one step closer to her curse fulfilment.
Rebecca herself seems like a harmless person, but why is she haunting Manderley in her death??
I can't take this mystery anymore."

page 260
60.75% "WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN TO MRS DANVERS AND WEAR THE WHITE DRESS YOU FOOL?!?

It's like she objectively chooses to ignore the red flags and run towards them like a bull. Does she LIKE invoking Rebecca's name and memory? I just don't get her"
