Years later, Libby can no longer play the victim. Her book deal failed, because no one is interested in the grown up Libby Day...except for the Kill Club - a group of murder enthusists. Maybe they might interested in having Libby investigate the murder....
What I loved about Gillian Flynn's writing is that she is has no qualms about making her leads chracters unlikable. Libby is unapologetically about her lack of ambition. She doesn't work, has no friends, but what made this portrayal convincing, was that she didn't want anything. This type of character usually wants the best for as little as possible, but Libby, she just wanted to be left alone. It made watching her her struggle to research her family that much more compelling.
Here was a woman who went from no interest in anything, who was now obsessed with her own journey. It was fabulous!
Highly recommended for fans of Gone Girl (Flynn's latest novel), Megan Abbott and Sara Gran.
