I liked this one like I enjoy all Gillian Flynn novels, the narration being really compelling. However I felt like the resolution of this one was a little anticlimactic I feel like knowing Flynn helped me guess who it was, just knowing Flynn likes not just fucked up women but fucked up moms. Reading her foreword to Flowers in the attic didn't help lol but here the characters felt bland/one dimensional
