So good! Couldn't put it down - even while cooking, carried my Kindle with me.

There was just a lot of explaining from a lot of different people. Definitely wouldn't compare it to Gone Girl, there was no real mystery

I haven't 100 percent decided what to think about books that paint all their characters as broken and somewhat loathsome.

This was a very good book. I wanted more though. I felt that there were so many characters and none of them really got the depth I was craving. Without depth I was left looking for more and really with no one that I could identify with or really enjoy.

The wasn't enough full story to really sink my teeth into. That being said, it was a page turner and a book I enjoyed. I just think that I'm ready for something with a little more character development.

This was one of the weirder books I’ve read. The description on the book jacket is very misleading to what actually happens. The jumping around of perspectives is a bit strange and the book probably could have ended 70+ pages before it actually did. I gave 2 stars because there were a few instances of compelling story telling, but other than that it was a total flop.
