 ...The rare occurrence, when book and film are both very good and almost identically captivating.
Some passages are too long in my opionion, but I like how the story is told through both spouses.

Loved the suspense, the tension, the unreliability and many plot twists. Even liked the use of unlikable and unredeemable characters in this. Just felt the ending was off so I'm knocking my score for it but it's probably the best thriller I've read. Definitely read the trigger warnings before reading the book. There were a lot. Take heed with them. Tried to get them all but may have missed a few.

Eh… i can see why people would like this, but it just really didn’t click with me. Not by any means a bad book, just nothing that surprised me or stood out to me as good.
