God I forgot how freaking good this book is. It's very much dated, with the characters laid off magazine writers who lost their job to the internet and the 2008 crash, but the twists and turns are so good. The first half of the book alternates between the day Nick Dunne discovers his wife Amy has gone missing and her diary detailing the early days of their relationship. The second half is Nick, buckling under his secrets and police pressure, and Amy's own story of what happened that day. It reminds me of the Interrupter's song lyric "I'm a match, she's kerosene."

The ending was terrible.  (Spoilers) there were things the cops could have done to find out she was lying - figure out where Desi was on the day she went missing, for example.  I felt like the author didn’t want a happy ending so made it seem like Amy was untouchable, when I don’t think that’s actually the case.
