“Something bad was about to happen. My wife was being clever again.”

  No marriage is perfect, right?  Just ask Nick and Amy from the brilliantly written novel, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.  This book is relatively recent, and I just finished it and feel fantastically excited about the movie adaptation coming up (So if you wanna read it before the movie releases on October 3rd, you better get to it!).

  Gone Girl tells the story of an extremely dysfunctional marriage that snowballs into he said/she said craziness when Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, goes missing.  Nick may be a shitty husband at times, but is he really a killer?  The media sure seems to think so, but the only way to know the real story is to start reading!

  The novel takes turns every few pages between Nick's day-to-day feelings and activities and Amy's  diary entries throughout the years since she met Nick.  The writing is genius, and every page leaves you wanting more.  Gillian Flynn does an incredible job at laying out an idea for a story and building it up with detail and intricate and careful thought processes.

  This is a very quick read and should mainly be read by an 18+ audience (lots of swearing and picturesque sexual moments).  I definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY, recommend it!

  My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

  You can purchase Gone Girl here, here, and here.

   Happy reading!
