READING THIS BOOK WAS AN OTHERWORLDY EXPERIENCE. I can’t believe this went under my radar for so long. I tried watching the HBO adaptation but couldn’t make it past the first episode. However, this book is a completely different story.

I am a fan of psychological thriller books and this one will stick with me for a long time. 🤯🤯🤯

I understand that Flynn’s most popular work is Gone Girl, but this book is so well-written and the characters are so fleshed-out. The theme might not be palatable to the general audience, but THIS BOOK is the one to read between the two (coming from a fan of Gone Girl).
