Dark Places
by Gillian Flynn
It felt very messy. Like there was so much going on and so many plotlines that served no purpose except to act as red herrings. Which would be fine if it weren't for the massive amount of time spent on those subplots. If something has no bearing on the outcome of the story, it doesn't need to be allotted full chapters and dozens upon dozens of pages. It just made me feel cheated.
And I don't know, maybe this is just a genre thing, but I felt let down by the ending. Half of it had almost no buildup and the other half had so much buildup it was rather predictable. If you like dark thrillers, you'll probably like this.
I personally preferred Gone Girl, but this did suck me in and get me invested in the outcome. Probably not a reread, but I'm glad I read it.
