What an abhorrent and pathetic main character. Unlikeable is an understatement. And poor Abby, she didn’t deserve anything she got. 

Gone to See the River Man was not at all what I thought. I thought it would be more about blood, guts, and glory, but it was more psychological. 

I had one of the big twists ruined for me, but it was still disgusting and heartbreaking. 

This book delivered horror on a silver platter, but I can’t get over how much of a shitty person Lori is (and that’s the entire point). There are no redeeming qualities about her.
