This started out fun, but it quickly becomes clear that things that work in a gothic novel from 1938 don't work in a contemporary romance. The author REALLY doubles down on the Maxim character being controlling and condescending. The heroine needs to be a little naive for this to work, but she was too naive. Plus, once the author said our heroine had a "maggot of doubt" I was out.

Owlizabeth A maggot of doubt 😂😂😂 6y
LeahBergen A maggot of doubt? No!! 😂😂 6y
johnnie_cakes @Owlizabeth @LeahBergen I even handed the book to my husband and asked if it said what I thought it did. 6y

Dreaming of Manderley is a humorous story filled with romance, mystery, and some ooh la la with a certain French man!  I am a fan of romantic comedies and having a mysterious element just made Dreaming of Manderley such an entertaining story for me to read........

Here's where I shamefacedly admit I've never finished Rebecca (I've only read half). So I feel like I can't read this adaptation. 😜 #mynovbookmail
