This book was INCREDIBLE. I was not expecting to finish it as quickly as I did, but I legitimately could not put it down. 

The pacing is incredible, the main character is witting and intriguing, and the plot was truly intriguing. The twists were wonderful, and the references to classic movies were absolutely fantastic. Man. The hype is so deserved.

This book mad me cry, it made me angry, and it surprised me SEVERAL times. The characters were realistic, and its rare I can praise a man for writing from the perspective of a female character so well.

Took me a little while to get into the story but once you’re in, you’re IN! 

Had to take away a star though because the largest character flaw is the fact that Anna is “delusional” because she’s an agoraphobe and is an alcoholic.

Celebrating Jordon's birthday today. Decorated, going to pick up a pie (his request) on the way home and have a streak dinner.

Demasiado predecible. Desde el 25% ya sabia quien era el asesino.  La unica sorpresa fue la verdadera identidad de la víctima.
