Clare-DragonflyI think Jan should have gone ahead and stayed in her room. Let Maxim deal with the consequences! He deserves to squirm a little!(edited) 2mo

Clare-DragonflyI mean, she ALSO should have told Beatrice about Danny setting her up. But let‘s be real, that was never going to happen.2mo
BarkingMadRead@Clare-Dragonfly and she had the perfect opportunity! Whyyyyyy did she not?!?2mo
Bookwormjillk@Clare-Dragonfly YES! She should have told Max and Bea about Mrs Danvers.2mo
peanutnineShe definitely should have told them about Danvers but like@Clare-Dragonfly I'm not surprised she didn't. She doesn't seem to realize that she has power over her as an employer. But she probably thought they wouldn't believe her2mo
daenaMaxim is the worst! As the chapters move forward my disgust of him grows.2mo
willaful@daena I'm really feeling why the author was pissed at this being called a romance.2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig@peanutnine@Clare-Dragonfly I never under when characters don't tell what happened. I would be yelling it out. And #DreadfulDanny would be packing her bags. Honestly if she just told Bea she would have told Maxim and he would have fired Mrs D immediately.2mo
dabbeI, too, want the narrator to snap back and have a backbone, but she just doesn't. She's terrified of Danvers (and even Maxim at times) and is so UNSURE of herself that she can't fight back. Max wanted her as Alice in Wonderland--fiitting since Alice is a complete innocent, not worldly like Rebecca or Caroline de Winter. The irony is, though, that Max is primarily responsible for Jan's loss of innocence. #sosad 😞2mo
dabbe@TheAromaofBooks Agree! Jan wanted so much to believe that Danny was finally being nice to her that she had the rose-colored glasses look in her eyes. And, too true,@BarkingMadRead. That smirk and the closing of the door in the west wing should have been HUGE clues for Jan. What a scene!1mo
