I am so conflicted with regards to how I feel about this book! I finished this book several weeks ago and find myself still thinking about it... which must mean it's worth something, right? I wanted to read this because I'm a huge sucker for books that are best-sellers or 'what everyone is reading'. I'm surprised this is so captivating, to be honest.
This book tells the story of two very messed-up individuals who happen to marry each other. I never blog what the story is about, because anyone can look on Amazon for that. What I'll say about this is when the book is finished, you don't leave with that conclusion as to how things wrapped up. I guess I sort of like that-- books that feel truly finished when I'm done reading it, unless of course, it's part of a series. This book doesn't feel like it will become more than a stand-alone book, which begs the question, what the heck happened at the end!?!?!? I'm not a spoiler, so I won't go into the end to bug others, but the first thing I did when finishing the book was search the internet for theories on what others believed. I thought the pace of the book ebbed and flowed, but overall, I did like the way the author writes. I'm not a prude, but I'll say some of the profanity got in the way of the story. Please, Gillian Flynn... no woman I know uses those words. You know the words I mean. The REALLY bad ones.
Hmmmm.... Did I like it? I think so!? Would I recommend it? Maybe - you have to be ready for a book that may not keep you in your 'happy place'. Rating? 3.5 out of 5.
