I re-read this for a different book club meeting and enjoyed it once again, even though I'd only read it a little over a year ago. There were a few plot details I'd forgotten about, so it was fun to have those "oh, right, this part" moments. I was struck this time through by the ways Amy's plan fails her - in a way, she didn't really seem to plan for the things she couldn't control, which was sort of interesting.

This was truly a cant-put-it-down read -- a creepy, sad, unsettling, but also highly entertaining and personable read. Highly recommend.

crazy good thriller/mystery. defintiely recommend it.
Where to even begin...great book, love the writing, the characters, twists and turns, and I even love what I refer to as the "Missouri-isms." I felt so many different emotions while reading this book about marriage, people - who they seem to be and who they really are, and life - what drives us to be the way we are and do what we do. So glad I picked it up. I was quite obsessed and look forward to reading more by this author!!!

I'm sorry, I just don't get it. I read to enlighten myself, to escape, to find the good in humanity. I finished this book. It was written decently...not incredibly poor but not great. The story had little redeeming value, and I don't see myself recommending this to anyone.

Can't put it down, but left a bad taste in my mouth. Poor ending and characters I don't want to spend time with...

Entertaining enough, but not sure if it's completely deserving of the craze . . .
