The twist in this was incredible. I wasn’t somebody who watched the movie beforehand so going blindly into the book was very worthwhile. While I sympathized with one character for almost half the book, I started to sympathize with the other in the second half. The author did a great job or really making you feel like you’re in for the ride too by including Amy’s diary entries.
I completely felt for Amy until the twist. While I hated Nick for cheating on Amy, what she did as a response was completely maniacal. The gaslighting was real in those diary entries. I kinda hated the ending because he just accepts she’ll never get caught. It’s kinda dark idk. Overall still good though.
