Disturbing. Classic cool girl monologue and isolated quotes but the rich people problems were not my favorite.

Brilliantly constructed with powerful voices, Gone Girl presents a tangle of character flaws pushed to the extreme. Read with caution, and trust none of them.

I love the movie and wanted to read this for years.

The first half was kind of slow or didn't keep my attention as well as the second half when it switches from diary Amy to Amy's POV, though actual Amy is way scarier and frustrating than "diary Amy".

I really liked this book but I hated the main characters. I wanted Nick and Amy to have horrible things happen to them and while they did, it wasn’t enough for me. I enjoyed having both Nick and Amy’s perspectives, it definitely helped develop the story far more than if it had just been one. Honestly, everything was pretty unexpected.
