*audiobook* This is my first Gillian Flynn novel, I know she has more popular works but this one caught my attention. I enjoyed it, disturbing and creepy. Its odd because its not until about 30% that you really start to see how fucked up our MC is, but once you do its a pretty easy jump to figure out why. The still held some twisty turns which is how we arrived at 4 stars. Also, Curry's whole character does a 180 from beginning to end just to suit the needs of the story. Camille tells us theyve always had the same type of relationship but thats not what i saw when he sent her there in the first place.

- couldnt put down 
- eery 
- morbid 
- some details were just slightly too fantastical for me that took me out of my focus; like the words and the dollhouse tiles 
- didn’t love the age gap sex but that’s the least of the sins committed I guess
