Why have I waited so long to pick up a Gillian Flynn novel?? I own three of them and have for an inexcusably long time! I liked this one quite a lot. It was pretty dark and had a lot of crappy characters who fun to hate. I did figure out part of the mystery fairly early on, but it made up for it at the end by throwing in a couple of other twists that I hadn't seen coming! I definitely am looking forward to reading more of her books later!
