★☆☆☆☆
Unexceptional...wait for the movie
The book has a lot of convoluted "plot twists/surprises" that don't really add to the narrative. The characters lack depth and leave you unable to form an emotional connection to any of them. The secrets that were meant to be shocking were dropped and glossed over hastily. Gone girl is clearly a partial inspiration and in all honesty a better read. If you haven't read already, wait for the movie and see if it fares any better. The raw material is there to be captivating but unfortunately it fell short.
