emilyisoverbooked 's review for:
The Fiction Writer
by Jillian Cantor
Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row for the copy of this book!
After reading Beautiful Little Fools for Book Club this year, I knew I wanted to read Jillian Cantor’s next book, The Fiction Writer. What I didn’t realize is that this book is also a retelling! While I never read Rebecca, I remember it sitting on the shelf at my grandma’s house and her telling me to read it multiple times. Lol.
Regardless, I really enjoyed The Fiction Writer and don’t think that you need any familiarity with Rebecca to be able to enjoy it. It’s full of rich person and writer drama, has some twists and turns, and is a very bingeable read! Perfect if you like sinister feelings, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET OUT OF THERE NOW” moments, and thinking about how similar one story can be to another and still be considered “new.”
