Gillian Flynn wrote a masterpiece. I loved this book.
I had already watched the movie before reading the book, so I already knew the twist and the ending. This did not worsen the reading experience.
Nick and Amy were two great main characters.
Then there is Amy, who through her diary entries paint a beautiful picture of herself. But when the twist is revealed, everything changes. She is absolutely crazy.
Their dual POV works incredibly well. Two characters that are extremely unlikeable, and I couldn’t help but root for both, in some way. Not literally. If this was real life, I would root against both, but as a book, it worked so well.
The ending left me with a tummyache. What a horrible ending, but so fitting. It really could not end any other way. Amy always has a back-up plan. She is always two steps ahead.
