danaslitlist's review against another edition
Which is shame because I was about 6 hours in and overall was having a decent time. This book has good bones and was entirely wasted on an author who is clearly more interested in “BOOM GOT YA!” twists than actual sense and emotion.

3.0
Los otros personajes desde los que se ve la historia son igual de deprimentes e insoportables.
La autora tiene una facilidad para crear personajes horrendos, desagradables, decadentes y describe una historia muy turbia y depre, una tragedia sucia y sin pelos en la lengua.
Lo terminé porque quería resolver el misterio, porque sino era una lectura abandonada. No conecté con ningún personaje y eso lo hizo difícil. Además de que menciona temas complejos, como suicidio y pederastia. Y que se yo, una advertencia vaga no estaría mal...
Si quieren leer un libro de Gillian Flynn mejor lean Perdida.

Content warning: There are some really tough-to-get-through scenes involving an inappropriate relationship between a teen boy and an 11 year old girl involving kissing and masturbation.hsnails's review against another edition

Despite this, I was enthralled with the plot. I enjoyed jumping through time, getting pieces of the puzzle along the way, gaining the dramatic irony as we learn things before Libby.
A portion of it did get too gory for me and I had to skip forward. But it didn't ruin the book.
Overall, I give it a 3/5. I felt that the middle dragged on a bit in an attempt to build the suspense, and by that point I couldn't help but laugh how "dark" it was, but I enjoyed the mystery and writing enough to stick through to the end.
