The ending was terrible.  (Spoilers) there were things the cops could have done to find out she was lying - figure out where Desi was on the day she went missing, for example.  I felt like the author didn’t want a happy ending so made it seem like Amy was untouchable, when I don’t think that’s actually the case.

1.0

Very obviously written in 2012 and did not age well. Neither Nick nor Amy are likable or complex anti-heroes. They BOTH suck and the author bends over backwards to make you root for Nick continuing to pile on to Amy's character in a “not all men bitches be crazy” 180 half way through the book. Having Amy lie about sexual assault is gross and harmful. I was expecting a good for her book and instead was just annoyed and found myself rolling my eyes constantly.
