Lately it seems like every suspense or psychological thriller is compared to Gone Girl. I often wonder if Gillian Flynn is excited to see so many comparisons to her work, so many people trying to emulate that shock value or if she feels that most don’t live up to the epic twist that made Gone Girl so special, like I do.
I’m excited to say - this is one book that actually lives up to that comparison. Don't get me wrong, this is an entirely different story, but it delivers that same level of shock. The best way to describe this book - clever. From start to finish, the storyline is compelling, unexpected and full of great twists. You might think you know what's happening and how the characters are involved, but in reality, you have no clue. It's something totally different altogether, making it so worth the read.

Yay! I'd love to hear your thoughts. It honestly was a true standout for me. One that I haven't let go of, even after all this time. Hope you enjoy. :)
Great review, and completely agree--Clever!!
I liked it even better than Gone Girl, but perhaps that's just me Melissa.
Great review, Melissa! I've added it to my TBR list.
