As usual with books with unlikeable characters I struggled to relate and invest in the narrative. But I really liked the narrative structure, this back and forth perspective kept me hooked.

What a bunch of overhyped nonsense. I don’t know if I was supposed to hate both of the characters from the beginning or not, but I did. Was rooting for both of their downfalls for the entire duration of this book, and the ending didn’t eat how it should have done to make up for the rest of it. Put me in a reading slump. Thank God it’s over

Really tough to review without spoiling, so all I will say is:
Dark and twisty (very dark) and I thought I knew what was coming (wrong).
It was every bit as good as I heard it was. Well done, Ms Flynn.

Desde siempre hemos sabido que el matrimonio es complicado, sin embargo cuando leemos esta historia nos damos cuenta de que no es el matrimonio, son las personas que tienen algo mal individualmente que cuando están con otra esto simplemente es lo que hace que la convivencia no funcione (que puedo decir, experiencias personales).

No obstante en este libro comprobamos que estas dos personas están más para allá que para acá después de la desaparición de Amy algo ocurre en la gente del pueblo en el que vive y alrededor del país.

Desde un primer momento sabes que su marido sabe algo que no está contando. Esto lo conocemos dado que el verbo que va a utilizar es mentir en la primera persona del singular y cuando vamos avanzando vemos que están los dos como una cabra dado que a medida que pasamos las páginas tenemos como la historia se va a ennegreciendo y la tramatrama enturbiando.

El final no me gustó del todo pero no negaré que es un taller maravilloso que te deja al borde del colapso esperando engullir las palabras, es icónica pero la película que la operación adapta siento que no logra captura la esencia de este disfuncional matrimonio

Hay una diferencia entre querer de verdad a una persona y querer la idea que te has hecho de ella.

Sempre ouvi opiniões controversas sobre este livro, incluindo que o filme é melhor. Ben Affleck que me perdoe, mas nada supera a possibilidade de entrar nas mentes perturbadas deste casal. Que viagem alucinante e exaustiva! E que desfecho tão apropriado. Minha primeira vez com a autora e não será a última.😍
