jupitersuns's review against another edition

I was enjoying the book until page 110 when the main character makes a statement I do not agree with at all. 

She states that it is the woman's poor choices that makes them at fault for being SAed (like drinking too much for example) 

I stopped immediately when I got to that part because I am a survivor and it made me sick to my stomach. 

It was way well before May 7 when I had stopped, but I only now decided to input it into the app just to finally clear my current reads.

This is the most disturbing book I have ever read. Gillian Flynn is a genius with suspense; I couldn't put it down even though it made me feel sick, kinda like an addictive poison. Every trigger warning under the sun.
