Messy shelf of an introvert. discussion

Alex is a badass and every feminist's goals. When her sister is raped and murdered, something inside her snaps and she's never the same again. She lives and breathes vengeance and makes sure justice is doled out to the murderer who was let go easily due to lack of evidence. People around her are respectful but vary of her, but she couldn't care less.
Nestled in between a murder mystery, lies a story about friendship, love and normal high school drama. Mindy McGinnis couldn't have depicted such an unusual combination any better.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The story starts out in Monte Carlo where the protagonist is working as a maid to a lady. She meets the a widower Maxime who is the owner of a huge estate Manderley. She falls in love with him and luck favors her when he asks her to marry him. As the new bride and mistress of Manderley, she cannot believe her good luck. But upon her arrival to the estate, she begins to discover that even though his former wife is laid to rest in her grave, she has managed to cast a huge shadow over the place. She is expected to fill the shoes of the late wife, which seems a task quite impossible.

This book is beautifully written. It is a classic with its right share of mystery and thrill. The series of plot twists in this book gives the reader a chance to complete the book at one go.
