Eh… i can see why people would like this, but it just really didn’t click with me. Not by any means a bad book, just nothing that surprised me or stood out to me as good.

this specific audio was absolutely incredible, just something about these two narrators couldn’t keep me away, more specifically amy’s pov but i think that’s a combination of the beautiful sounding narrator and amy’s pov simply being absolutely insane. if you’re going to listen to an audiobook of gone girl, this edition is AMAZING.

if you’re sensitive to it there’s a lot of profanity.

challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

4.0

Amy disappears on her 5th wedding anniversary. Nick, her husband, is left trying to solve a giant scavenger hunt of clues…lots of twists and turns…

This book was a rollercoaster in the dark. Plot twists I didn’t fully see coming. And definitely an unpredictable ending that I was absolutely not expecting. Definitely a fun read!
