This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

5 WHOLEEEEE STARSSSSSSSS and .75 AMAZING SERIOUSLY AMAZING and ppl say like that the beginning is too slow and it takes forever to get good but it gives it more time to introduce the main character and build on her personality and her like instability and it gives her more like unreliability and i watched the movie before reading the book but it was DEFINITELY STILL WORTH IT and since i knew what happened at the end i could pick up on all the FORESHADOWINGGGF LIKE SERIOUDLT THERES SO MANY AND ITS AMAZING and the WRITING IS PERFECT I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH a strong recommend if u liked gone girl and very VERY GOOD IMAGERY AND JUST AMAZING I LOVED IT MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK

Pretty engaging thriller. However, very trope-y for me (alcoholic woman who can't deal).
