If you don’t count the “50 Shades” books (which I have no interest in reading–sorry, I’m not sorry!), Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn was the book that everyone seemed to be reading and recommending this summer.
Once I started reading it, I understood why. It was quite a page-turner with just enough twists and turns to keep me up late reading.
The story starts on Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary, when Amy disappears. The husband is always a suspect and Nick doesn’t do himself any favors.
What happens when your wife goes missing and you are a jerk?
It’s a whodunit told in chapters that alternate between Nick and Amy’s diary–and you never know whom to believe. I won’t even hint at any spoilers, but I will say that the story gets satisfyingly Revenge-y with each dark plot development.
Speaking of Revenge, who else is excited for season 2?

I read this over the summer and really enjoyed it. And couldn't stand how it ended!! But fun read.
ME! I loveeed Revenge last year! Such an original show, I think.
I love it — and my husband loves it. So rare that we are both hooked. But we both like Once Upon a Time too.
I've not heard of this book but maybe I'll get it on the kindle sounds like my kind of book 🙂
I have Gone Girl sitting in my room and am I BEYOND excited for Revenge. Beyond.
I read Gone Girl and loved it so much I've read Flynn's other two books. Loved them just as much!
