Twisted characters that just kept making me question who is really in the wrong, who is the victim? Enjoyed constantly questioning the characters and their motives.

I will be thinking about this book for a while. I saw the movie in theaters and remember all the feelings I had then. I feel the movie is very accurate to the book. The whole time I was thinking “I wish I could read this blindly” because I know these plot twists would be so good. I love the unreliable narrators. I love super flawed characters. I love the satire and critique for men/women dynamics, true crime in media, and so much more. There is so much to analyze I wish I was reading this with somebody to talk it out. Amazing book, can’t wait to read more from the author.

I would do the same thing if a man dulled my sparkle! 

In all seriousness I thought the plot and character development was very smart and engaging. The only thing better than one unreliable narrator is two! My main critique was pacing; the book was so long I felt like it dragged at points before Nick discovered Amy’s plan. But very happy the cat didn’t die <3
