Some people should just get a divorce.

Me at the beginning of part 2: Yes Amy!! Girl boss!! Gaslight harder!! 

Me at the beginning of part 3: I hope Nick actually fucking kills her and then he goes to jail.

Evocative, thrilling, ridiculously clever, sinister. Sharp and complex commentary on feminism, misogyny, generational trauma, heterosexual relationships, sociopathy, familial dynamics, and the media sphere circa 2010. It’s a lot of ground to cover, but somehow this book weaves these threads together deftly into one whole, complete, devastating portrait of mutually assured destruction.

I really really enjoyed this book, but it’s too sexual for my tastes. I also can’t decide if I love or hate the ending, so there’s that.

If you like psychological thrillers, I’d recommend it. However, I would NOT recommend this to anyone under 18 because of the descriptive sexual content.

3.0

Almost DNF’d this book before making it half way through. The second quarter of the book was so slow and I did not like Nick or Diary Amy at all. Right before I gave up though the book turned around and I got sucked into the mystery. An incredible web of clues and lies and plot twist I loved how everything played out. However I still never liked any of the characters and I don’t think they really grew or changed throughout the book.

I loved the writing and the overall plot but I’m not a fan of the ending and some parts felt unnecessary. I liked how the plot twist happened more so in the middle but it left the ending sort of boring for me. I liked the back and forth of the characters and as a reader constantly going back and forth who’s crazier. I feel like it’s one of those you can reread and really pick up on personality flaws that may explain the characters from the beginning. I recommend it. But it’s not the best Gillian Flynn book she’s written and it’s definitely not the best thriller.
