Short and semi-sweet novel, clearly trying to write in the spirit of Gillian Flynn's novels. It has a definite Gone Girl feel to it for most. I will admit the premise is creative. The only issue is that the entire book is centered around attempting to deceive the reader, which will probably put some people off. It didn't bother me at all, but then I figure if I am going to be deceived it should probably be by a book and not a friend or spouse.
There are some issues with this book, mostly the abrupt way that it ends (I wasn't a huge fan, but then it isn't like I devoted just tons of time to this -- it's less than 200 pages) and the fact that some things are hinted at and never followed through with regard to Emma. It's alright. This is one of the more enjoyable Kindle First novels I've read, simply for the fact that it works so hard at deception. It succeeds with flying colors in that deception too, although that is probably because the big reveal is so far-fetched that the novel basically becomes an urban fantasy or even science fiction entry at that point. Having said that, I still enjoyed it, and once the "Twist" happened, I appreciated that I had been strung along for so long (Just like with Gone Girl -- although that one was just a masterpiece).
I read lots of nitpicking from Goodreads reviewers. I don't think you can nitpick a novel like this. Yes, it is going to be farfetched. Just enjoy it for what it is.
