Me: I've got to read calm and cosy books before bed, not thrillers with protagonists so selfish and unhinged that I can't look away even though my eyes are starting to itch
Also me: so Gone Girl has been on my list for ages

Even though I absolutely knew Nick didn't kill Amy, I was so convinced he did by the end of part 1

This story is absolutely batshit

Was interested in the first half, then invested for 20 pages of act 2, then completely uninterested in anything said or done until the last 30 pages. The last 30 had me hooked. This was a roller coaster of whether I wanted to finish the book or not. 

The writing itself was super vivid, and the characters' voices were super strong. Glad I decided to finish.

What an intriguing thriller! Gone Girl made for an unputdownable, fast-paced, and twisty read! This was a tale of infidelity, manipulation, and obsession!  I love unreliable narrators, and the changing timelines/diary entries kept me guessing! The end was a little disappointing for me, but thats okay! Absolutely recommend, and now I've got a new auto-buy author!

Yes, somehow 10 years later here I am reading Gone Girl for the first time. Haven't seen the movie either!

My reaction for most of the book: Am I supposed to be rooting for Nick? Honestly, I say good for Amy. This guy sucks.

My reaction for the last 70ish pages: Uh, maybe she IS actually crazy.

Overall, I enjoyed reading it. Although the ending left me feeling a bit unfulfilled. A solid 3/5 read.

Crazy man who hates his wife. Crazy woman who hates her husband. A match made in hell.
