Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

4.0

Yes yes, I know, I’m years late to this (book) party. I finally read Gone Girl and it did not disappoint. I was worried as the first 100 pages dragged a bit, but it really picked up and I was reading 100+ pages a day. This story tracks a marriage that dissolved through a lack of communication on both sides, to eventually leaving two people so out of the loop with each other, that they both resorted to extremes. This book had lots of twists and turns of: Did he do it? Is he lying? What’s this new discovery about? Who’s telling the truth? It kept you guessing to the very last page. I felt a little unsatisfied with how it ended, but if two people are both as toxic as the other, sometimes they deserve each other. I am so looking forward to watching the movie now. All I could think about while reading the book is how each chapter or scene would be replicated in a movie.
