Typically, when I start a new book, I go in pretty blind, so I don’t know what to expect. The 20th-anniversary edition had a forward by Gillian Flynn, and I feel like it gave away the most crucial points 😅 The story felt like a slow burn, but that may be because I knew what to expect. Regardless, this is such a messed up situation to create for your children. Unimaginably cruel. Cathy and Chris are incredible characters, forced to grow up way sooner than they should have. Thankful for a relatively happy ending.
