I loved this story! When I checked it out I didn't know it was a story not a novel, but there were so many twists in 66 pages it was worth it. I wish there was more! so creepy!

Super quick read. If you like her other books, you'll like this story.

My first thought was, “what am I reading?!” and then I really got into this short story. Parts of it genuinely made me uncomfortable in a good way. I like that it has an ambiguous ending. 

Well that was fucking crazy.

I love Gillian Flynn. I love that George R R Martin asked her to write him a story and this is the result. Very strange and yet I loved it and think I will think of this story often. 4.0

I wanted more!!
