I stumbled upon this one by complete accident. It was only when I was about halfway through that I learned there is a movie based on the book. I cannot wait to watch. 

This is heart racing suspense at its finest. There are twists and turns and the unreliable narrator adds an extra layer of confusion as you work to separate reality from delusion. A few of the twists were slightly predictable, but the final reveal had my jaw on the floor. 

This is perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden and Gone Girl!

This was a really good thriller. Some things I guessed correctly along the way, others took me by surprise, just how I like it. However, the film references throughout the book were not my cup of tea. Nonetheless, this was a great read full of suspense and twists.
