I found this one strange…I have to admit, had I not been recommended it and known there was a movie made from it, I might not have finished it. Quite a journey to get where it’s going but still a unique story line!

Great read - the story is solid and suspenseful but the I didn't like any of the characters.

This was a second read and I wasn’t as into it as I was when I first read it 7 years ago. Also, potential trigger warning that was not relevant to me on the first read, but is now. There is a scenario where a child drowning is discussed in detail.

A little hard to pick up who is who in the beginning because of the use of different names but quickly becomes clear. Took me a couple of chapters to get it. Really enjoyed it. Watched film and booked the stage show tickets.

Listened to this on audiobook. Kept me entertained and wanted to know what happened next. Honestly, none of the characters are very likable because of how screwed up they are, but it felt real and raw in that way. It does put you in the mindset of someone struggling with alcohol abuse, so it could be triggering for some people. The twist was both predictable and surprising in some ways.
