Gone Girl is a dark, tense and psychological thriller that isn't for the faint hearted. It follows the characters of Nick Dunne and Amy Elliott. It starts on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, and she has vanished. He's now under pressure from the police department and social media, but his portrayal of a happy marriage begins to fall to pieces as a lot of new information is revealed. I was pretty much terrified the entire time reading this book, the plot twists, the character development, the tension build up was all written flawlessly. The character aren't loveable per se however they are some of the best characters I've ever read. The only issue I have with this book is that it took me a while to get through as I felt that it was too slow at the start. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves psychological thrillers or dark books in general.

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.
