This book starts strong! I’ve never heard an opener like that. For a short book, there is a lot to it. I enjoyed this story!

An enjoyable short read from Gillian Flynn. Bold and quite twisty-turny! I like how it ended in a slightly cliff-hanger way.

3.5. i thought this was a really enjoyable read. i love flynn’s writing and characters, but bc this was only 64 pages, i think the whole plot is a little lacking. i liked the middle a lot, and i even gasped at one of the reveals. but the ending was a little disappointing.
