This was my least favorite book of Flynn’s books sadly but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it.
I thought the first half was a little too slow for me, I wanted more thrill and less plot dissection over and over but that’s also just the mood I was in.
( I think if I was in more of a slow burn thriller mood this would have been my cup of tea)
I will most likely read this again and will be interested in my rating then, since while in the middle of this book I DID get a craving to reread Sharp Objects and Dark Places because both of those gave me that quick thrilling DONT read at night feeling.
The characters were hard to like, and hard to root for in there own respective ways, I did not enjoy the ending, I wished it had ended differently, or At least had an epilogue that would appease the rage and anger I felt at Amy, and even Nick for being just as toxic as she was and perpetuating that into a family.

I was worried I'd find it a bit boring, thinking I knew the main twist, but there were so many twists to come it really kept me on my toes! I have a harder time reading physical books, especially first getting into them. But this one was so easy, with its super short chapters and constant guessing.
I wasn't super satisfied with the ending, but I suppose
