The misogyny and detailed descriptions of minors bodies ruined the story

Un bon livre surtout grâce à la fin qui est vraiment étonnante mais qui met pas de bonne humeur, les personnages sont pas très originaux mais l'intrigue policière l'est. Pas super bien écrit, un peu long

UGH. No. If it engaged me maybe I could’ve gotten to 3, but this was mostly a waste of time. I hated the characters, I hated the useless sex scenes, I hated the dialogue. I hated it. Flynn does write some beautiful lines that I did, I do admit, enjoy. But this is not a good story, it is not a good thriller, it is not a good mystery, and it is not a good book. Yuck.

the pacing of the story felt a little fast and like it spiraled to the end a bit quickly but that could also be bc ive seen all the spoilers forever ago......beyond that none of the main 3 characters are likeable which i enjoyed! i support womens wrongs
