I listened to the audiobook and oh my goodness. I think I forgot quite how disturbing some of the themes could be in Gillian Flynn's work. The writing and characters create such a tense, secretive and dangerous atmosphere. I feel as though there's not much I can really say...the characters feel so alive on the page and the main characters truly have gone through so much that there's quite a lot of trauma that just drips off the page. At times it truly feels like perhaps this is too much, perhaps there shouldn't be so many descriptions of awful things that almost makes you feel as though there might be a line that's crossed into glamorizing the horrors of the novel. The continuous remarks of Amma and how she's only thirteen but also so adult made me feel so uncomfortable, though that seemed to be the intention. I can't say I was all that surprised by the end, so instead of my wondering how it was going to end, it was more about the journey that led us there. A solid, unsettling read 4/5
