Ok, WTH was that?!?! Let me first start out by saying that I friend and I started reading Gone Girl: A Novel after we got so many people telling us how good it was. I read the blurb of the story, but I had no idea what was in store for me when I started reading/listening to this!
Wow, these characters were beyond f'ed up. I mean beyond! Just when you started liking someone, they showed their true colors and then you were just disgusted with yourself for even falling for their b-s.

This was a re-read after reading the author's debut novel Sharp Objects. I'm actually glad I read this one first because I don't think I would have read it after reading the other one.

I don't have enough good things to say about this b

This is a very nicely written book. The author is able to make the characters come alive and off the pages. They felt so real to me that I had to, at times, put the book down.

I am still thinking about this book days after finishing it but I haven't decided whether or not I like it. The beginning was a little slow but not unnecessary. The middle got exciting with the twists and craziness. The ending just sucked. By the end, things just seemed ridiculously implausible which killed the rest of the book for me. I might have loved this book with a different ending. Maybe the movie ending will be more to my liking (if I get around to seeing it). I have so many thoughts on
