Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm
3.0

This was another novel I could see people comparing to Gone Girl, in the sense that we're dealing with characters that emerge as morally ambiguous as the plot moves along. Grace was definitely one of the more complex anti heroes I've come across. I waffled greatly between wanting to see her get what she wanted and wanting her to be held accountable for her actions, despite any suffering she's endured. I really enjoyed the detail that went into the character and her experiences in the art world, but the pace didn't pick up for me until the last third of the book. I'd definitely recommend though.
