3.5⭐️. Very well written. I just hate the characters tho. Amy is a despicable and vile human. Nick is an asshole. They honestly deserved each other. However I was thinking there really is no way for Nick to get out of the marriage without killing himself of going to jail. It’s a lose lose situation.

The story started light and happy enough. Amy, a beautiful thirty-something single woman who after a string of bad relationships finally meets Mr. Right. They fall in love, marry and live in marital bliss for the first couple of years. Then things start to go downhill and on their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy disappears. The story then takes a dark, twisted and deranged turn and nothing and no one are as they seem. The book captivated me from the beginning and I was enthralled for most of it – I loved all the twists, turns and surprises. There were a few slow parts and like most reviewers I did not care for the ending. There are other parts of the book I didn’t like but cannot get into them without giving away spoilers. I must say though that at some point, it felt like I was watching a Lifetime movie, which I am not a fan of. While I enjoyed this book, my overall rating is 3.5 stars.

This book was incredible. Amy is insane and also living every cheating victim's fantasy, Nick is well-developed, and what they have going on should never involve any other living person. Very excited to discuss this in book club in an hour.

Because I came to this after it had become very popular, I already knew that there'd be 'that twist' at the ending. From page one I was setting up every twisted twist I could muster. So even though this twisted tale was very clever, I ruined it for myself a bit by overthinking it. Just the same, the unlikeable characters were quite a draw card and I enjoyed their unreliable perspectives.
