It was boring. I guessed the plot twist halfway through the book .

Fuck… this book…. I never want to read it again but man it was also so good. Gillian Flynn is an amazing writer and pays such close attention to details in her book it’s insane. I did figure out who the killer

or killers I should say

were by about 30% into the book if not before but not exactly in the way it played out by the end. And there were still parts that shocked/grossed me out. All of the characters in the book give me a little bit of the creeps and I am very very glad my life didn’t look anything like theirs. Amazing book… will not read again.

I was honestly a little bored at the beginning. Not much was going on and it only got kinda interesting after 150 pages.

Camille has had it rough. It’s why she cut words on her body and acted the way she did. She not abnormal but her mothers behaviour definitely left an impact on the poor woman.

She pinched her when she was asleep and kissed her after that. She was sick. Joya is to blame. They’re all messed up istg.

I had it figured out from the very first beginning, Adora or Amma done it. Most likely Adora since James said it was an old woman but whatever. I had it figured I’m out and I was right!!!

Marians death was tragic, so was the other two girls murder. Mama is a fucking child, I couldn’t comprehend why she acted the way she did but I’ll blame that on Adora.

Fuck you Richard. I liked him, what a shame.

This was interesting but not for gripping enough for me. A little gruesome, just a tad bit but nothing jaw dropping or mind blowing chase I saw it coming from a mile away.
