Loved the pacing and the dark psychology. I rarely like a book where I hate all the characters but this is an exception.

I gave it a 3.5 stars. It was a good book, sometimes there were parts that I found that was a bit toolong. Some of the characters I didn't really care about, but overall it was a good read.

An enjoyable read. I didn't know much about this before I started reading it and that I think helped my enjoyment. I think if I knew more about the plot I would have found it a bit more mundane and thus would have a rated it a bit lower.

Seriously disturbed characters. Feel like I need a shower after that book.

Wow. This book is so dark?? I felt so uncomfortable after I finished reading it, but I do think it's worth the read.

I enjoyed this book. A fresh setting with clarity, I know some have said it meanders too long but I didn't think so. my only critique wd be occasionally things or dialogue came out of nowhere or out of character

Wow...I am not sure what i think of this book. I would start by saying this book is about prejudice, pretentious restaurants, the death penalty, violence, homelessness, adoption, illness, and more. None of it is pretty to look at but the novel is well constructed and though provoking ... for sure.

There were moments where I was truly shocked but there was something in the writing style that really irritated me. The comparisons to Gone Girl will prompt me to read that and hope for 4*

Disturbing and quietly violent.
