Kathy Cooperman Quote
Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca was the book club pick that got under Kim’s skin. She took no pleasure in watching the timid heroine contort herself in a desperate attempt to live up to the memory of her aloof husband’s dauntingly beautiful, now-dead first wife. Kim had thrown the book across the room when—hundreds of pages in—the husband revealed that he’d hated his first wife and loved the newbie exactly as she was. Why the fuck hadn’t he said so back in chapter one? 22
