I Let You Go

Oct 07, 2016

really liked it

bookshelves: thriller-mystery, favourites

I haven't been this caught off guard by a thriller in a while. Finally a book actually worthy of its Gone Girl comparison- it is full of incredibly well crafted twists. I would have preferred the ending to be a little different, but gets a solid 4.5 rating from me.
