There have been many comparisons made between this book and Gone Girl. I will start by saying that I detested Gone Girl. Honestly, had I been reading that book in print rather than on my Kindle I would have thrown it against the wall. The good news is that I did not have a similar reaction to this book! I can't say it was an amazing book, but it held my attention. I pretty much read this in one sitting (it was snowing and I didn't have much else to do) and found myself wanting to know what had r

To be rated/reviewed closer to next month's book club discussion (combining Nov & Dec selections :))
While I had a hard time feeling much empathy for most of the characters, I enjoyed the twists and turns the story took, which is probably why I enjoyed this one more than the book club member who nominated it. I didn't figure out where the story was going and liked that it kept me guessing, and slightly off-kilter. Although, some of my guessing had to do with asking myself WHY Rachel was doing wha ...more

This book was an intense page turner yet one that took me forever to read. If you have read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn then you get the same general vibe from reading this book. The characters are all unlikable and the narrators are unreliable. This book made me stressed out in such a way that I had to read other books at the same time to give me a break from it all. Even though I needed to find out the ending, I dreaded the thoughts of being in these character's minds.

It seems like there are a lot of books of this genre with "girl" in the title. This is my favorite so far. My next read is a different "girl" book; looking forward to reading Girl in a Band.

It started out strong and then devolved into a a mess of unlikable, unreliable, nonredeemable characters that are all interconnected through they don't notice it.
The three different voices on the audio book are nice to delineate character though the time line jumps don't work as well in the audio version.
By the end, the tension the author was trying to create seemed overblown and drawn out. ...more

Stop comparing this to Gone Girl! Great read with enjoyable pacing and engaging format. But it is thankfully not a Gillian Flynn-style book. Swift read with a unique reveal. Go for it!
I went from feeling empathy for Rachel to disgust, irritation, disbelief, and more empathy. Most of the characters turn out to be awful in their own unique ways by this novel's conclusion. Hard to put down, quick read.
