Fantastic read! I adore Gillian Flynn's writing. Her characters are just next level assholes, but I really love to read about them. The characters in this book were no exception. Could not get enough of the story either! Stayed up late night after night just devouring it.

The story was actually pretty interesting and really well written, but it’s just not really my thing.
