I looked forward to reading this book after reading the back cover, but once I began reading, I was sorely disappointed. I kept thinking the book would get better, but after the third chapter, I had to put it down. It was utterly boring and the conversations between the characters seemed to be unbelievable. I'm not sure why it was compared to Gone Girl, even though I haven't read it yet, but I have read other Gillian Flynn books so I am familiar with Flynn's writing; unfortunately, this book was nothing close to them. If you're looking for a book that will keep your interest, in my opinion, this will not be it.
