Everything I liked about Gone Girl but dialed up. Ultimately I think I prefer Gone Girl just because this book is so much sometimes. This book is very dark, very bleak, will make your stomach turn. Please heed any content warnings and consider them strongly. It’s a lot sometimes. Gillian Flynn is unapologetic with gruesome matter or writing from the pov of a character with a lot of problems. Bear in mind the main character really seems to have OCD, so if this is something you struggle with, maybe consider that too before diving in. 

Difficult to swallow sometimes, but very good.
