Becca was a shining star at Manderly Academy until her disappearance. Now, the New Girl is taking her place and everything that Becca was threatens to dismantle the new girl’s senior year and her relationship with Max. Will she be able to rise above the memory of Becca? Will the truth about Becca’s disappearance ever be discovered?
|
New Girl is a retelling of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, set in a stodgy New Hampshire boarding school. The New Girl, whose name you won’t find out until the very end ala Rebecca, is given a surprise by her parents and sent to school for her Senior year. Although that part of the plot was a bit far fetched, I just decided to go with it. Used to the warmth of the Florida coast, New Hampshire is the rude awakening you would expect, but when the New Girl meets her roommate things start to get creepy. The New Girl is taking Becca’s place at the school and is assigned to sleep in her old room with her very traumatized roommate. Throw in a handsome and “off limits” love interest, Max, and this modern day Gothic has many of the elements that made the original so good.
The details about the missing student, Becca, are revealed through flashbacks and alternating view points and I liked the extra insight that it gave the reader. It allows you to get to know Max and Becca more than it would if it were only told from on perspective. The isolated world of Manderly (no cell phones or facebook) is juxtaposed by the very modern mean girls who are there to remind everyone that Becca cannot be replaced. The New Girl tries to adjust, make friends and make the best of her senior year while fighting the memory of Becca. Although she wasn’t always strong, she did eventually stand up for herself, which I liked reading. There was definite growth in her character and the New Girl and the end of the book was much different that the New Girl at the beginning. Overall, this story was everything a Gothic novel should be; creepy, romantic, emotional and mysterious. I think fans of Rebecca will enjoy this modern day retelling and those who haven’t will be interested to read more books in this genre.
I received this book as a galley from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Wow this book sounds familiar to me because it is close to the plot of the TV show, The Lying Game. Love the show so I’ll have to read the book!
This book was just okay for me. I actually thought it would be a better read for those who hadn’t read the original, because I really don’t think that this version held a candle to it. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn’t been comparing it to Rebecca, which is a favorite of mine. Great review.

I have never read Rebecca ( plan to now though) and in fact, didn’t know this was a remake until after I finished reading and saw another review. I absolutely loved New Girl. Definitely one of my favorite reads of the year so far.
same here i really <3 this1
Wow, 4 birds! I really love REBECCA so I’m not sure how I’d feel about this (especially since I have issues with a lot of YA retellings), but I appreciate reading the honest review. 🙂
i really would love to read this book
This is the first review I read on New Girl. I’m glad that you liked the book. Maybe I will check it out on netgalley!
I requested the book – so hopefully I’ll get a chance to read it. I’ve never read Rebecca so it will be fun to pick that up as well.
Hmmm…I haven’t read Rebecca and I wonder if that makes this reading experience all the better…

Oh wow, I had no idea this book was like that, or else I would’ve jumped on it. Thanks for the review, I’m definitely going to get this one.

It’s important to recognize child behavior before making an attempt at
potty training your child. You need to be consistent and help reinforce
her going outside by a) offering treats when she does so
and b) praising her with a phrase such as, “good outside”.
Potty training resistance can be successfully combated
with a reward or incentive for using the potty after all.
