Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

Oh my god, this book is a mindfuck.  Excuse the term.  I was reading away, thinking I didn't like Nick very much and something seemed really off about him...but it seems too easy for him to be the murderer...and I'm reading, and it's good but not great, and then in the middle BAM!  Mindfuck.  I can't tell you what happens, obviously, it will give it away.  But it is written so well, and so thought out.  It's fantastic!  Left me in awe.

So the basic storyline is there is this couple and one day (actually the day of their five year anniversary) Nick comes home to find that his wife (Amy) has been kidnapped.  Or that is what it looks like.  So the cops get involved and the whole thing just throws you for a loop.  Now, we only get to hear about Amy from her diary entries.  So you want to know what the hell is going on, something isn't quite right....and I just advise you to read the book.

Wow, this book was fantastic.  I'd recommend it; at the very least read the summary of what it's all about here.
