Pretty good thriller, the worst people you've ever met in your life are perfect for eachother.

Flynn describes a bowl of ranch as "semen like" and i will never forgive her for that

I'm glad I finally read this, since it's been in my bookshelf and on my TBR for serveral years. I haven't read that many thriller books overall since I usually enjoy more lighthearted media, but it was nice to switch it up and try something different. I became very invested in the story and it felt exciting to get to the end and see how it ended. I think this story is so interesting to disect and discuss, and I definitly understand why it became such a phenomenon after its release.

Some people should just get a divorce.

Me at the beginning of part 2: Yes Amy!! Girl boss!! Gaslight harder!! 

Me at the beginning of part 3: I hope Nick actually fucking kills her and then he goes to jail.
