Gone Girl is a dark, tense and psychological thriller that isn't for the faint hearted. It follows the characters of Nick Dunne and Amy Elliott. It starts on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, and she has vanished. He's now under pressure from the police department and social media, but his portrayal of a happy marriage begins to fall to pieces as a lot of new information is revealed. I was pretty much terrified the entire time reading this book, the plot twists, the character development, the tension build up was all written flawlessly. The character aren't loveable per se however they are some of the best characters I've ever read. The only issue I have with this book is that it took me a while to get through as I felt that it was too slow at the start. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves psychological thrillers or dark books in general.

HOLY SHIT that was quite a book. i watched the movie 5-6 years ago, and i’m glad i didn’t remember the specifics.
this was SUCH A GOOD BOOK i don’t even know what to say.

when it’s revealed that the diary entries are FAKE i just knew i was up for a HELL of a ride. i knew the basics of the movie, and i wasn’t sure how it would pan out in the book format but it went SO WELL.

5 stars no wonder it’s such a good movie highly recommend can’t wait to read sharp objects!
