Really good read but the triggers are incredible. If you have a trigger, this book WILL activate it

not too happy with this book, i know a lot of people like it but i couldn’t get into it as much, super slow paced and i kind of regret reading it i could only read like 50 pages at a time without getting bored, but the ending was good.

book of all time! a perfectly humid, sweaty, nasty summer read. 

this book is one of my most re-read books ever, I love it for the atmospheric writing and terrific suspense. I would read Gillian Flynn's grocery lists, she's just so good at building that sense of dread. the twist at the end is ultra-satisfying, even when re-reading.
