The actual storyline was....interesting. I started off with mix feelings about the mc but towards the end of the book tbh, I didn't like her at all.
By the time you realised who might have committed the murders it was like okay can we get on with it, a lil bit of a twist but also an unsurprising twist.
Honestly this whole book was a bit of a traumatic mess, in a bad way.

I'm not going to bother with a content warning list for this book because it's not worth your time or mine. If you struggle with reading about themes of suicide or self-harm, this is not the book for you.
Because it's such a quick read, I'm not really going to bother to break it down. But the writing is so, so damn good - honestly, just go read it!
I read this book in one day for a Read-a-Thon and it was absolutely worth my entire day. I tend to stay away from thrillers in general, but Gillian Flynn is an author I will continue to actively seek out. This is the second book I've read of hers and it's just as good.
