I devoured this book! I love Gillian Flynn’s writing style and was hooked on this midwestern mystery. The characters (though unlikeable) are extremely interesting and I think Flynn does this very well. Really enjoyed this on the whole but the descriptions of self harm and over sexualisation of youth /sexual assault are tough to read
