Story Summary: Don't want to give anything away. This is a thriller with definite twists. But to sum up briefly: Nick and Amy are having trouble in their marriage, Amy disappears, media starts to suspect Nick, everything goes wrong, twists happen.
Why You'll Like This Book:
- Unreliable narrators!
- Plot twists!
- Very gripping! (At least the second half.)
And Why You Might Not:
- Two main characters who are both rather unpleasant people.
- And both kind of sexist too. Towards both sexes.
- And most of the other characters are unpleasant too. (Although I liked Go.)
Thoughts: Well, my thoughts, few as they are, are somewhat spoilerly. So I'll leave you with the bulleted lists above, and do the rest of this review in rot13. Translate at your own risk!
Also, note, it's probably not even worth translating, because I'm super behind on reviews, and it's been a few months now since I read this. And my memory is really bad.

Grade: Difficult book to grade... Intense and memorable but disappointing and unpleasant. 3 stars, I suppose. Nice middling, non-committed number.
