Lol, I was thinking the same when I posted it! I blame working from home. It blurs lines ;-)
Haha that’s awesome Peggy lol and no worries, I am curious but I have a busy weekend and six books already in progress 🤦♀️ I think I can wait lol
Rusalka - sorry it wasn't your cup of tea. I think my favorite things about Du Maurier is how atmospheric her writing is and how you don't know who to trust. Here were the other choices :)Book 2 - was Eleanor & Park
-
-Young Love
-Oddballs
Book 3 - was Terra Nullius
-Australia
-Sci Fi
-Dystopia
-TWIST!
Book 4 - was Educated
-Memoir
-Idaho Survivalists
-Homeschooling
Book 5 was Dandelion Wine
-Classic
-Small Town
-1920s
-Magical Realism
Also, I just realized that though I meant to type 1980s music I accidentally put 90s - I hope that didn't mess with your choice :) It is 80s - and adorable. I wish I typed better!

Don't be sorry at all! I'm glad I read it, and thanks for giving me the push. It's been sitting on the shelf for a long time.
And I agree with the not sure who the trustworthy characters are. I am still planning on picking up something else she's written, as I definitely think there is potential there for an awesome book. Just wasn't this one for me.

The description of Rebecca was too good, it was going to take a lot to push me past that one ;)
