Moram priznati da sam počela sa čitanjem malo skeptično, i to iz više razloga. Kao prvo, bila sam svjesna da je onakav hit nemoguće nadmašiti, plus, nikada mi baš nisu skroz sjele knjige Cecilie Ahern (osim naravno, P.S. Volim te). A i tema ove knjige mi je jednostavno – teška. Priča se nastavlja 7 godina nakon Gerryjeve prerane smrti, i šest godina nakon što je Holly pročitala njegovo posljednje pismo. Nakon podcasta u sestrinoj trgovini rabljenom odjećom, Holly, koja ima novog dečka i napokon ima osjećaj da je krenula dalje, dobiva ponudu da pomogne grupici ljudi s neizlječivim bolestima,da im pomogne u ostvarivanju želje da, poput Gerryja, ostave poruke za svoje najmilije nakon što umru.

The beginning was slow and hard to keep up with, but it grows on you and although you may not like it so much, it keeps you interested in reading it till the end. It is a bit weird, and somewhat disturbing, but it's not a bad book. Different - yes, a bit confusing - yes, but not bad. I do wish it ended differently, but I do understand why the author decided to go this way. Anyhow, an interesting read.

I have to admit I struggled a bit with this one. But, maybe it is just me...I certainly do think that this book is better than most of the rom coms I've read lately because of its focus on female friendship. It really shows how great friendship can be found in an unusual places, and that we have to cherish it. It also talks about the importance of a mental health being and problems with depression.
A big thank you to NetGalley for a free sample of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Tense, dramatic, creepy, mysterious, even weird....all these words can be used to describe this book. Trust me, when you start reading it, you wont be able to put it down untill you finish. And even then, you'll be left with so many questions.⠀

Talking about family Bainbridge, its past and present, its secrets and lies, hidden up in a big, maybe even possesed manor, with the wooden dolls that just keep reapearing within the house, hidden rooms and locked doors, and diaries that hide horrendous stories, this book is a wonderful example of a victorian ghost story. ⠀
⠀
What is the difference between dreams and reality, paranormal and normal? What is real and what is not? And when can someone be defined as crazy? These are only some of the questions you will think about while reading this book. And probably a lot of the time after finishing it. ⠀
What I loved the most is the way the author gives us little hints that we must work out ourselves, she doesnt actually spell it all out but keeps it hidden, like a story within the story. And that is the story full of difficult topics like domestic violence, rape, position of women in the society and the society of 19th century in general.

This was my first Gillian Flynn book...and what a book it was! I don't read thriller / crime novels much, and it's not because I don't love them, but because I often find myself predicting everything too early on and it ruins the reading for me. But, I have noticed that this kind of reads have lately gotten a little less predictable, with interesting twists and turns and not so perfect characters. And I like that a lot, so there's a great possibility I'll be reading more of this kind of books in the future.
There is certainly a lot to digest with this story, but in general I think it serves its purpose and gives to the whole atmosphere and creepiness. Here you will find struggled and lonely Camille, who, as a journalist, comes back to her hometown to write about murders of a two little girls. You will also find a bunch of young teenagers eager to seek attention, a perfect housewives and mothers club, a lot of troubled family dynamics and the weird atmosphere of a small southern town. This is a very dark book, that in places goes maybe a bit too far, with the mental issues, self-harm, alcohol and drug usage. But, as I said before, it just feels right in this book. All the pieces of the puzzle fit together and every action has its purpose.
Now it's time for me to move on to some lighter topics, but I will sure be back to Gillian Flynn, because I really loved her writing style. Even with all of the broken family issues, bad parenting and ,really disturbing actions, she never sounded too pathetic or judgmental, and she was using the issues mentioned as bricks in building her story. A great story, by the way.
