This might be my favorite of all of Gillian Flynn's novels. It was so twisted and creepy, and Flynn's protagonist was so messed up and so unaware of it that it was extremely interesting to read. I feel like this was the most disturbing of all of Flynn's novels, and the protagonist was extremely damaged and problematic, which made her narration of the story much more compelling. It was so twisted and gross and it really got under my skin. Flynn does an amazing job of making the most messed up of people seem normal and rational, especially when they're one's parents.
