I think people tend not to like this one because they expect a mystery and instead it’s much more character-centric. Like I actually predicted the ending, which is not something I’m likely to do. I think Gillian Flynn is skilled at writing fucked up character and, at its core, that’s what this mostly is. And it really worked for me.
