Gone Girl

We like to think when we meet a person and begin "courting" if you will, that each individual shows their best side.  Known to many as the honeymoon phase. Eventually this subsides and we see the good, the bad, and the ugly.   When you can truly get a person and appreciate their positive qualities, while accepting their flaws, and are still willing to wake up to them every morning for the rest of your life, than you truly have found your person.  But what if this person isn't who you think he/she is and you don't find out until 5 years into the marriage?

This is what happens to Nick and Amy Dunne in Gone Girl,  by Gillian Flynn.  On their 5th wedding anniversary, Amy is missing.  All that is left of her is a crime scene with large amounts of blood,  a scavenger hunt she set up for her husband which she does every year, and a diary retelling the past 5 years of their lives.

Their story will leave you wondering if Nick could really kill his wife and who both partners really were.  This is a must read as it is filled with plot twists that always leave you wondering what will happen next.   Find out what happens to the Amazing Amy Dunne.
