Woah! I hated all the characters in the book but I couldn't stop reading. Took a few chapters to really get my attention, but once it did it was hard to put down.

I'm usually good for a thriller even a psychological thriller but this was not my cup of tea. Part of my problem is I didn't like any of the characters. Maybe I'm showing my age, all I could think throughout the book is all 3 women need to get a job! They had too much time on their hands and were so whiny.
I know many people love this book, I'm just not in to such a depressing story. The only redeeming quality was that it had a better ending than expected. The person who recommended this book paired the recommendation with Gone Girl...I don't think I'm going there. Maybe I'll watch the movie, so much easier to stop in the middle of a movie then in the middle of a book.

Intense

I really enjoyed it. It's really well written so I had a hard time putting this book down, that's how addictive it was. But despite how good this book was I was able to guess the ending since the first few chapters, which was a little bit disappointing. I was hoping for something breathtaking, surprising, which was kind of a letdown.

Tom is indeed a sleazy scum bag.
