“Love should require both partners to be their very best at all times. Unconditional love is an undisciplined love, and as we all have seen, undisciplined love is disastrous.”
“You two are the most fucked-up people I have ever met, and I specialize in fucked-up people.”
my god these white people are fucking craaaaaaaaaaaaazy.
devoured this completely within the span of four-ish hours and even with my advance knowledge of all the major plot point and spoilers it fully completely absolutely lived up to and surpassed the hype. 1 star taken off because
that said, maybe the first book i’ve read where i can so viscerally hate these characters for their ego and self-righteousness and inner monologue and simultaneously see some of my own flaws reflected within them so clearly. but maybe that’s just because i’m a virgo.
gillian flynn is a GENIUS.
