Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn


I was able to read an ARC of Gone Girl in 2012. I read it again in 2016 and I found myself revisiting it again this year. 

This book gets better with each read. It becomes darker, more deranged and the characters are people we don't want to know but enjoy reading about. 

If you haven't read Gone Girl or seen the movie where the heck have you been?  This is about a couple who are meant for one another but should have never crossed paths because together they are a total disaster. They bring out the worst in each other and are the villian's in each others story. 

Amy and Nick Dunne are both writers, who lost their jobs and left Amy's beloved New York. They moved to Nick's hometown to care of his ailing mother. They live in a house Amy hates and on the morning of their 5th wedding anniversary Amy goes missing.

Nick is the immediate suspect. He swears he hasn't harmed Amy or know where she is but evidence points otherwise. As evidence piles up and secrets come out the stakes get higher and you're left to wonder if Nick will end up behind bars. 

This book is deliciously wicked.
