I liked the writing but I ended up feeling like this book was overhyped. The characters were completely unlikable for me and the book ended up just being kind of meh. I never really wanted to put it down but that's mostly because I was at work and it was keeping my mind engaged from work stuff.

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

while the first half of the book is slow. The second half picks up quickly. It's a wild ride. Well written. But ultimately I was a little disappointed in the ending

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
