Providence by Caroline Kepnes

I was super into this book at first. It was a real page turner when Jon went missing and seeing how that would unfold. Where it started losing me was when Eggs entered the picture. I found his whole character depressing, annoying, and ultimately pointless. I would much rather have followed only the story of Chloe and Jon than have to hear about a middle age man obsessing over his son and whether or not his wife is gonna leave him.
The Lovecraft references were fun, but again, kind of not really that important to the plot. I wish it had delved into that world more and gone full horror. Or sci-fi so we could learn what really happened to Jon.
Overall it is a fun blend of genres, and while the ending isn't quite a resolution, it is an ending. I want a sequel to see what happens next, but it seems an OK conclusion to the whole tale if there isn't one.
