Oh my gosh, this book.  I am gonna have a total book hangover from this one. 

I was super excited when I saw this as my selection. I hadn't heard of it before, but based on the summary from Goodreads it seemed like it would be a book that was totally up my alley.  I was also a little hesitant, because the reviews are fairly mixed. It seems like people either love it or hate it.  I loved it.  It was a bit predictable in its unpredictability.  I say that meaning I always knew when a twist was about to come, but I was never quite sure what it would be.  Though I think it was a bit far fetched at times, I totally believed it.  I also thought that Kate, Amelia, and even Sylvia and Dylan to some extent were characters that I could sympathize with. I definitely bought into their stories. 

I thought the comparisons to Gillian Flynn's books that I've seen on Goodreads, particularly the comparison to Gone Girl, are a bit off.  Though I love the two Gillian Flynn books I've read, and I also loved this book, I didn't necessarily see the comparison.  

I listened to the audiobook version, and I thought the narrator did a great job.  Thanks to whoever made this recommendation.

  • That's awesome!! I loved this book when I read it last year. I wasn't the one who recommended it but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  • I am currently reading this book.  I saw it come up on the Kindle Daily Deals and found the storyline intriguing.  Glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much, I started it yesterday and keep trying to find ways to pick it back up.
