What did I just read? A whole messed up situation.
Was I entertained? Abso-freaking-lutely!
Did I finish it still confused and wanting more? Yeeessss
This is the first book by this author and even though it was a short story you get so much character and plot within these short pages. I was very impressed. My only concern is that it reminds me a lot of Gone Girl (movie not book I haven’t read it) so the author’s range might be the same across her stories and since this isn’t a genre I lean to will I continue to enjoy her stories, we shall see. But this one I really enjoyed and since it’s so short you can’t say too much. If you like twisty, smart, confusing, selfish characters lol this is right up your alley.
