Oh this novel was so much fun! I loved it! 

The back cover of the novel promises a "story unlike any you've ever heard" and this one certainly got close to doing that. It was twisty, emotional, tense, and mysterious all in one. I also love that Alex Michaelides chose to write the book as a play in 5 acts from the main character's perspective. The narrator was charismatic, a little unhinged, and told the story in a very easy-to-follow way. 

I really enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it if you love a good mystery, whodunnit novel.
