2.0

If you enjoy stories in which layers are slowly peeled away, revealing hidden motives over time, give this a try. Lots of folks have compared it to [b:Gone Girl|19288043|Gone Girl|Gillian Flynn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397056917s/19288043.jpg|13306276], and both do have unlikeable but compelling characters who have gotten comfortable with rationalizing pretty extreme behavior. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.
