I skimmed this book because it another book I am reading is described as "Gone Girl meets Pretty Little Liars" in YA. But this is neither YA nor urban fantasy, and I also did not enjoy the 1st person interchanging epistolary chapters (diary and narrative), and I found much of the 'meat' of both mc's to be banal. I will not be modeling any of my books on this one.

Wow I really enjoyed this and couldn't put this down- an incredibly intriguing mystery and one of the most shocking twists I've ever read. The ending was a bit of a let down for me- we all want the good guys to win in the end. But other than that a true masterpiece.

Hated the narrator and his wife within a few paragraphs and decided not to spend any more time with them.
