Gone Girl

By: Gillian Flynn

This book was absolutely unpredictable, crazy, and a whirlwind of emotions. It was phenomenal.

Gone Girl is the twisting turning suspense and thrill filled story of a marriage gone terribly horribly wrong. Nick and Amy Dunne are a young married couple about to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary when things start to go awry. On the morning of their anniversary Amy disappears and Nick comes home to the house in disarray. The police get involved, and the public and media get involved and things start looking really bad for Nick. Scandalous and inappropriate behavior on Nick's part don't help anything, but could he really be the killer that everyone thinks he is?

The way this book is written really draws the reder in and developes the story in a mysterious way. It is written from the first person point of view of the two main characters Nick and Amy. Each chapter switches back and forth between the two and this is really what I love. You get to see the perspective of both sides of the story. This really keeps you on your toes both mentally and emotionally. I found myself going back and forth trying to decide who was the "good guy" in this book, who should I be rooting for? This really drew me in and I loved every minute of it. I am for sure going to read her other two books Dark Places and Sharp Objects because I simply loved the writing in this book. 

I would 100% recommend this book to read, it would make for great summer reading at the beach or wherever you just chill out. It was a thrill and pure addiction.

Let me know if you have read Gillian's other books and what you thought of them!
