I could not put this book down once I picked it up. I love the change in tone half-way through the book and I appreciate the author giving us one of the best monologues on the “cool girl” in the 21st century.

Me: I've got to read calm and cosy books before bed, not thrillers with protagonists so selfish and unhinged that I can't look away even though my eyes are starting to itch
Also me: so Gone Girl has been on my list for ages
