If I have trouble putting a book down because I'm just enjoying the heck out of the author's writing, then it gets a five for me. The author deserves that much. Flynn is now one of my favorite "current" authors. I love her style and why she does what she does with each action, character, plot twist. Even, as she said in an interview on Goodreads, why she made Libby a kleptomaniac just makes sense but I love the depth of it, the why. Libby is kind of like a Lisabeth. She has darkness in her but at the core she's good, she's hurting, and she's human. Loved the characters and the movement of the story. A great read indeed.
