It was an amazing book, but I didn't really like the ending.

Spoiler

Nick knows Amy murdered someone, but he stays with her because of the baby. He did make sure she actually had a baby, but it was still too much. He even deleted the manuscript from his laptop.

I'm interested to see how the ending of the movie will be different.

I lowkey hated both of the main characters but I couldn’t stop rooting for them LOL. At one point I was rooting for Nick then Amy then Nick.

The second half of this book makes the first half's slog worth it
