book of all time! a perfectly humid, sweaty, nasty summer read.
this book is one of my most re-read books ever, I love it for the atmospheric writing and terrific suspense. I would read Gillian Flynn's grocery lists, she's just so good at building that sense of dread. the twist at the end is ultra-satisfying, even when re-reading.
