I made it 60 pages before I realized I’d rather bang my head against the wall. 60 pages was also all I needed to know that there wasn’t a shred of originality in this book and I’ve already “read” it before.
I was predisposed to dislike this book for three reasons : 1) the use of “girl” in the title 2) the very false comparisons to “Gone Girl.” 3) the alliterative title (like Gone Girl) that somehow requires false comparisons.

I admired the author for taking the leap to completely vilify a character who was portrayed as sympathetic throughout the book. That being said, the book didn't really work.

This book was very intriguing with plot twists and everything. What would a good thriller be without a little Stockholm syndrome? I would suggest people read it. I've yet to read "Gone Girl" but I saw the movie and if that is what you're expecting from this book, you may be disappointed. Don't judge it off of the reviews cause you may end up loving it like me.
