This feels like the sort of unfinished, hurried, underdeveloped short story I'd read in an undergrad creative writing critique by a psychology major who has one more humanities credit to fill before graduation and no self-governance. Kinda just makes me go: "why? why did you do this? why am I reading this right now?" Not what I was expecting from ms. gone girl herself gillian flynn. ANYWAY...
