Might give another Riley Sager a try though, because the initial concept was good.

Charlie continually made some irritating choices to further the plot. It being set in the early 90s made it more realistic though, since there weren't cell phones. The premise was fun and the twists at the end were interesting.
I listened to this on audiobook. It was single narration and I liked the narrator's performance.
I don't know how I feel about the "movie in her mind" aspect. Grief is prevalent throughout the book.
I really enjoyed the book, but I also have a lot of little nitpicks. This one requires you suspend reality for a bit while reading it. Thoughts:
Some lifetime movie vibes. Kind of ridiculous, but a fun time.
