Good for a single read, depressing, unlovable characters that could probably have been fleshed out more but the mystery was fun.
My type of book, loved Gillian’s writing which was well-paced but also a real page turner. Really liked Libby as a character and enjoyed hearing her journey. Overall, satisfied with the ending and was shocked when everything was pieced together. Would read again.

a satisfying ending overall. it draws out things until the very end. don't regret reading it but i regret how long it took me to do it.
Ah! I enjoyed this one more than Gone Girl. It has the same flashback structure of Gone Girl, but the twists are anything but straightforward. Instead it's a dense narrative with a really well-fleshed out universe examining themes of poverty, misinformation, the American Dream.
It is something like Lost. A larger who-dun-it, with a lot of mysteries that are slowly unpeeled little by little.

I really liked the first half, the build up, but at some point that just... stopped. I caught myself skimming through entire passages, not really invested in Libby's perspective anymore. The oomph you get in Gone Girl just wasn't there. Things seemed dark and crude for no other reason than to be dark and crude... Not a bad book, but probably not something I'd recommend to people first.
