4.5

I don't read a lot of mysteries, but Gillian Flynn is such a masterful character writer that I can tolerate a lot of stuff that I usually dislike about the genre. That being said, I wish this was a "tighter" story. It was a complicated mystery with a complicated answer. So much so that it didn't feel grounded. 
It was a wild ride though!
