The fact that this is Gillian Flynn’s debut, is insane. Respectfully, the woman is unhinged LOL but the book was fantastic. Read it in two days. I was enamored with the story and couldn’t wait to find out the identity of the killer. Overall, the plot twist was well played out and I didn’t find it to be cheesy. I also didn’t see it coming. Fantastic book, it gets a 4, only because the plot twist was good, but I’ve read better. I’d recommend this to anyone who loves mystery. The self harm gets pretty graphic, I did have to take a break for a little bit, probably the only dislike about it. Anyone who likes fast paced suspenseful novels would love this book.
