Some people should just get a divorce.

Me at the beginning of part 2: Yes Amy!! Girl boss!! Gaslight harder!! 

Me at the beginning of part 3: I hope Nick actually fucking kills her and then he goes to jail.

The beginning was too slow, but the second part really picked up well. I despised both main characters, and the ending was a little too open for me too. The twists though..

5.0

This is one of the most clever books I’ve ever read. If you think you already know it from the movie, you don’t. I was pleasantly surprised by both the complexity of the characters and the way this book constructs a world informed by patriarchy and misogyny. There are no certainties in this book, and that’s what makes it incredible.
