I don't know what goes on in Gillian Flynn's head but this lady has an intense talent of keeping you on your toes. She does an amazing job at creating page turner mysteries and developing deeply complexed characters. I love that her books showcase the same story from different vantage points because you never know how it's going to end up. I've read all her
books and can't wait for more!

Owned it since 2013 and read it now in 2017
Wow how great it feels to remove it from my tbr pile. It was really good, i was kinda spoiled for the ending but that didn't take away much from the story and the unique writing style.

Fantastic! Flynn did a sensational work of literature here. I was completly enthralled from beginning to end, and unable to put it down.
