Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

4.0

This was a really good read! The story kept me guessing, and at times it was difficult to decide who I was rooting for. I'm only giving 4 stars because of my disappointment with the ending:

Spoiler

I really didn't like how Amy got away with everything without any consequences. I guess it speaks to the fact that she was so good at what she did, but I would have like to seen at least something rattle her. How many people has she hurt and how many will she continue to hurt? I know Nick wasn't a great guy, but I wanted him to be able to escape the marriage or to at the very least be able to maintain his emotional separation from Amy. The final line makes me think that he will be Amy's victim again, and it definitely makes me feel sorry for their baby.
