eerie, suspenseful, dark and mysterious! kept me hooked the whole way through. literally couldn’t put it down. Camille’s perspective was so raw, and i felt the shock watching her come to terms with the truth as it was unraveling for me as well. truly spent the whole book hunting down suspects and didn’t see it coming! great read!
[3.5 stars]
My one main issue with this story was that the story was just plodding along for the majority of the book and only in the last 50 so pages did it pick up. This also meant the reveal felt all last minute.
However saying that I did enjoy the story and what it covered but I feel Gillian Flynn's other books are stronger.

I received this book for Christmas from a friend. It's much darker than books I typically read, but I was surprised that I couldn't put it down! Many twists and turns, it's a good read!
This was a twisted, dirty little story and I liked it...that's right, I liked it. Kept me interested and on my toes. I thought I had it figured out several times, and I did...but I didn't...but I did.

Loved the short series, and when I saw it was based off of a Gillian Flynn novel, I got even more excited! “Gone Girl” is a classic, after all. But, I honestly found that the tv show had a better formulation of the ending as it was a lot more tense and grueling compared to the book’s rather slow climb to the reveal. Camille’s character was a lot more interesting as we were able to see her thought process in depth, and I realized she was a lot more vulnerable than what the show made her seem! Overall, so good. Big fan of Gillian Flynn, and I can’t wait to read more from her.
