My cousin convinced me to do a buddy read while she read this for the first time, and I’m so glad I did it. I have to bump this to five stars. This book is a thriller master class. It breaks all the rules and is still somehow the best of the best. These characters are all awful yet still so engaging. The older I get, the more I catch. And it was so fascinating reading this now that I’m married myself and have spent more time engaging with true crime material. I think Flynn is a genius and I need her fourth book to come out yesterday.
I listened on Spotify premium until my hours ran out, and then listened from the library. I read a bit on my kindle thanks to booksatrillion, and ended up finishing with my paperback.
2021 reread (2nd time):
I really enjoyed this reread! The author is a master storyteller, and even though I already knew what happened I still found myself being surprise by the twists and turns. I see why this was such a bestseller, even though both Nick and Amy are the most awful people. Awful people, wonderful characters.
