I guess I fall into the majority of readers who love the buildup in the first part, saw the “twist” coming miles ahead in the second part and absolutely despised the ending. Seriously, I wish the book could have ended right after the “shocking reveal” instead of having a very anticlimactic and inconsistent ending. I guess my personal bias in wishing for Amy's punishment for her despicable acts is a major reason for my disliking the ending. This is also the reason why "Sharp Objects" remains to be my favorite of Gillian Flynn's books because the ending in that book was just so satisfying.
