I expected this to by a mediocre book, but it was not only a fast read, but a truly interesting read. I'm usually annoyed by all the loose ends being tied up so perfectly, but Moriarty did it so nicely that I ain't even mad.

so good! I could not put it down!!

Entertaining book that unravels as it goes. This book can be extremely light and funny at times, that you forget there was a murder and the heavy topics being explored and revealed. I liked that it was told from different perspectives but not broke into chapters of "Jane", "Celeste", etc. I haven't seen the HBO series yet, look forward to how it unfolds - although very confused that there is going to be a second season.

Just really good. Watched the show years ago was still gasping. A lot of really rubbish bestsellers these days are just a rip off of this.
