I liked it - it was weird. Not entirely believable, but kept my attention.

I love how the author develops the female characters and their relationship, but I felt the plot fell a little flat. Pretty predictable, but still interesting enough.
I've heard good things about the author, especially how she writes about females so I am definitely willing to give her other books a try.
I'd recommend this book if you're looking for a quick read.

Megan Abbott writes such twisted and disturbed characters. While I didn't like this one as much as You Will Know Me, I enjoyed it enough to still go pick up some other books by her.

I'm such a fan of Megan Abbott. This book is no exception. Whip-smart and quick.

If I hadn't been in Mexico City, I would have stayed up all night to finish this. Megan Abbott is a great writer.

Creepy and entertaining. The audiobook was perfect for listening while I cooked, cleaned, and sewed.

We're going to start with the good. I enjoyed the back and forth between the past and present of this story. I like seeing how Kit and Diane's friendship began and what happened to break them apart. I found myself wondering what Diane's secret was and how it shaped who Kit ended up being in the present day.
Unfortunately, Megan Abbott is one of those authors that always falls flat for me. The premise of her books always sounds interesting, but then I start reading one and I end up disappointed. This was much the same. It didn't hold my attention. I found myself finding other things to do so I wouldn't pick this book up. And although I finished it and it was okay, I don't think it's the kind of book I would recommend to one of my friends.
This book was just okay for me. If I had to grade it, I would give it a C. The story was fine, but I didn't crave to read it. I did finish it. But next month I probably won't remember much of it. Lackluster. Good but not great.

This book took me way longer to read than it should have. I don't even know how to describe the plot because it starts as one thing and then becomes about 25 other totally bonkers things. I kept doing double takes as things got more and more bananas. Parts of it were really engrossing and interesting but overall, it didn't work for me.
