Holy shit I am overwhelmed with emotion. This book is epic Shawshank, Color Purple, Classic. I couldn't put it down. I am an huge romance reader and very rarely go outside that genre but I am so glad I did and will now search out every book written by Gillian Flynn. My heart is aching, my hands are numb and shaking and all I want to do is hold my children and tell them I will always love them and never let them go.
