G O O D . 
I was hooked, all I kept thinking about was coming back to read this amazing book. 
It's so real. Too real. 
Brought up a lot of emotions, anger, frustration, empathy. 
I could sadly relate to too many aspects of the book. 
The inner monologue - self blaming, denial, comparison and so much more, is too accurate to people who suffer a relationship with narcissistic and manipulative people. 
The plot itself was also very gripping and enthralling. 
I thought about so many different twists, but not this one. 
Amazing, amazing book.

Loved this! It took a while for me to get into it because there are soooo many characters, but once I did I was hooked. I thought Moriarty did a great job handling sensitive subjects and complex feelings, and while I suspected something similar to the incident, I was still very surprised. I really want to watch the HBO show now because of the cat!

This has been sitting on my shelf for ages. A quick, tense read that was often unsettling but sometimes funny.
