My next book was Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media--as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents--the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter--but is he really a killer? As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet

This wasn't as great as everyone made it out to be. It started out a little bit slow. I hated the characters. There were no character that I was drawn to in the slightest and I think that was why it was so hard to read. The characters were all very blunt. Flynn described the characters in an unflattering light, which I liked because most main characters are made out to be beautiful and flawless in appearance. This book took me longer than it should have to read even though each chapter ended with the correct cliffhangers that makes a reader want to continue...but I didn't. The book was very, very twisted and the main characters were very thorough. The change of the characters of opinion didn't seem realistic, although desperate times called for desperate measures, as the saying goes. And the end just made me mad. I gave it a 3 out of 5 stars.
Keep reading!
