4.5 stars . *breathes deeply* What a ride! Finally a mystery that keeps its appeal intact after the first 50% and does not make me roll my eyes all duh! like in the end. Let's see why, shall we?






� Highly recommended if you can stomach the depression. *whispers* In the end, I even rooted for Libby. Don't ask me why. I just did. Nobody's perfect, okay? I said that the characters made me sick, but oh, the sadness. The despair. The misunderstandings. The loneliness. My heart aches from lack of hope.

PRE-REVIEW
This is me being all contradictory : Once a year, Romance week is coming and finds me waving from a distance. As much as I love my fluffy reads, everything Valentine's Day related tends to annoy me greatly. Cynical, me? Nope. Try being born on February 14th and getting an indecent amount of heart shaped cards, gifts, stuff over the years. I can assure you that it does get old. I resist as I can, okay?
Strike one.
Nb. I made my dark week banner with the free label found here from (lilac and lavender)

I know this goes against everything you wrote in your update but **Squealing and Screaming like a banshee** I'm not such a big fan of valentine myself, but Anna that's so sweet? Lovely? **wink wink** I and Vane have planned to buddy read this! I'm positively, absolutely excited about it, it'll be so awesome. I love Gillian Flynn so far(even though - and if - I've only read one book by her). I think it's safe to expect much. I look forward to your review so much! Enjooooy. Mwahhhh
Xoxoxo
❤❤� (I should use the love more often from now on **smiles sheepishly**)

(Also, I am not a valentine's day fan, either! *fist bump*)"
Thank youuuu!!! Haha I shouldn't complain because thanks to my birthday I never do anything special for Valentine's day... But god, I have a collection of heart shaped things >.<

YOU TOO GIRLS?! We must be doomed or something.


Hahaha yeah we do only my birthday. But to be fair, I never buy anything either for Valentine's day :P



Thank you Mia!! It was really addictive indeed, and I can't wait to read more by her. What was your favorite?

THEY SO ARE. I LOVE THEM. I can't wait to read Sharp Objects now, really. The pacing of this one is perhaps a little slow in the beginning but I really didn't care at all, I wanted to knooooow and that's so fucking rare! Thank you!

I really loved Gone Girl. It was my first book from the author and I didn't see any of the twists coming. The movie was awesome, too. Sharp Objects is a close second, though. They both definitely leave you with chills! Flynn just plays with my mind so well . . .


I did!!!! :D Lmao, I won't change this review (look at the picts :D) I hope you'll enjoy as well! �

They really are!!! Thank you! I completely understand - it's really dark *hides*

Thanks so much Ivonne!! Yeah, it's pretty dark >.< Gah, these people...

Oh no! When I saw the review, it wasn't this full one. I'm actually frightened now O_O Didn't you have a short review saying "Full review to come" before this review? Am I seeing things now??!!!
Nevertheless, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND FANTASTIC REVIEW ANNA!!! Oh your creativity is enviable. And I'm envious!!!! It seems this and Gone Girl share some elements which made me love Gone Girl. I think I'll love this one too! And I totally agree with your opinion about unreliable narrators!

YAY!!! I really did :) Thank you!

Thanks so much, Chantal!! It was such a dark - but brilliant - tale :)

Thank you! I can't wait to see what you'll think :)

Bahahahaha LMAO *hides* Sorry! It happens to me all the time, I just confuse things, especially in the morning XD
Thank youuuuuu � I can't wait to read other books from her now! I think my next will be Sharp Objects - Perhaps tonight (or I'll go for Alice, it's my dark week after all^^)

Oh no. Oh my. It can't be! There must have been a problem with loading the review! That has to be it. The review didn't load fully in the morning. This is seriously disturbing!! It's not the first time it's happening. My eyes can't be that bad, can they? Or my brain? I don't even want to think about it. Brrrrr. **Shakes it off**
I have Sharp Objects too! I got Gone Girl, Sharp Objects and Dark Places all at once at a cheap price. It was a 3 in one sale. The only word that crossed my mind when I saw it was: BUY!! in flashing letters. Haha. Whichever one you try, I'll be looking forward to following your progress. And review !!!!!! Haha.


But I love your dark soul all the same and YOU FUCKING BETTER have a bday tag for you, me, and Jen for your fabbbbbulous bday read in which we will gush. Oh yes, there will be gushing.
Love you, you old cynical tart. �

Thanks so much!! How's the movie?? I can't wait to read more from her now!

OF COURSE I WILL. WITH ALADDIN �
and welllllll I think I'm a mix between cynical and romantic.... It just depends, and Valentine's Day has been so fucking PRESENT my whole life *hides*
Thanks so much � LOVE!

The movie was good, but I have a feeling the book is better. ^^ They did a great job with casting, tho.

YES! I LOVE Charlyze :D

Awesome review! Can't wait to hear what else you find in your week of dark books.

Awesome review! Can't wait to he..."
Thank you!! I think you'd like? The beginning is a little slow but I honestly didn't care because I was hooked nonetheless. I've had it for ages too, no idea why I waited so much to start it >.<


Thank you so much Jen ♥♥ I can't wait either!! First I'll be in vacations and then our BR and then I have Gathering Shadows (A Darker Shade of Magic that comes out the same day so I know what I'll read just after :D)
(Also, I am not a valentine's day fan, either! *fist bump*)
