I’ll give Gillian Flynn that she can build tension like few other writers. That said, the ending felt rushed and I had problems rooting for our protagonist - the character felt incomplete.

I was so wrapped up in this book! I didn't even realize I was finished until I closed the book! And let out a breath!! Idk what I expected but it wasn't what was played out in the pages! The book was WOW! Camille Preaker was a little boring/cringe but I can understand why she is that way! Having a childhood like she did! I don't think anyone would come out alright!
This author books have a way of pulling me in no matter how strange or wild they start off or end!

We also meet Camille's mother, who she impassively calls by her first name, Adora, and Camille's half-sister (also a preteen), Amma. As she is wrapped up in the psychological darkness of her family and their history once more, the plot thickens along with the mystery. The ending is shocking (like jaw-dropping dreadful) to say the least, and just when you think you've figured it out, Flynn hits you again with another bombshell. I watched the television show right after finishing the book and would also highly recommend. Both stories were gripping and I'm still thinking about their endings a week after finishing. I would, however, caution any readers - this book is extremely dark. Please check trigger warnings before reading!
