A short story full of twists and turns, some of which come on a bit too fast. Fans of [b:Gone Girl|19288043|Gone Girl|Gillian Flynn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397056917s/19288043.jpg|13306276] will find some of the same tropes here - not-so-nice characters making questionable choices - but still it's an enjoyable fast read.

sure. okay.

Fun. Very ambiguous ending which is not a thing I love.
