Whyyyyy did my mom tell me to read this book? Spoilers
Who tells the mom of a new baby to read this?! What the fuck. I just got to the part where Megan shares what happened and I'm crying and shaky. What the fuck.
I am seriously pissed at my mom. And freaked out and want to hold my sleeping baby

I dont even remember what happened in that book other than her repeatedly getting black out drunk. The movie comes out next month, I want to see it! It'll be a mystery all over again lol!
It was such a terrible book. It felt like a Gone Girl knockoff in some ways.
I hated it. I don't even remember the part you're talking about Elsa but sorry it's upsetting I iust hated that book so much and couldn't understand how so many people raved about it

I liked the book alright, BUT its too much like gone girl and all the other creepy stories out there. Nothing new. It did not really affect me, but I am also not a parent
For all the hype, that book was really boring. The alcoholic thinking was portrayed pretty well, but the story just dragged. Throw the book away. Don't waste precious time finishing it. That's a lesson I've learned over the years. Always felt like I HAD to finish books. Hell no!
My book club chose two other books worth avoiding:
the Promise of Stardust ...tragic accident that leaves brilliant astronaut Elle Beaulieu brain-dead...left with a difficult decision when they learn Elle is pregnant...taken off life support...kept alive to bring the baby to full-term?
Two if by Sea A day after losing his wife and unborn child in a tsunami in Australia, American Frank Mercy...offers Mercy the opportunity to heal his new wounds...sprawling family saga is a lot of things - a finely drawn character study, a transcontinental thriller, a portrait of grief and loss
Staying home from book club two months in a row until the group picks a decent book. Sorry, Elsa, but your mom probably wasn't thinking when she recommended it.

lol I feel the same way! Pretty much zero memory of the actual content of the book.
