Gone Girl was a book I was aware of, since my friend reviewed it on her blog and another friend recommended it. I was determined to get my hands on it since I had been seeing it everywhere. Gone Girl’s reserve list at the library was so large that it would’ve taken FOREVER for me to get. My friend with the blog lent it to me and just like that, I got involved in another book phenomenon.

This book opens on the day of Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. They met and spent the first years of their marriage in New York. However, due to layoffs and the demise of Nick’s mother’s health, they move back to Nick’s hometown in Missouri. Not sure what to do next, Nick opens a bar with his twin sister, Go, while Amy stays at home. Then, Amy disappears on the day of their anniversary and Nick becomes the prime suspect.
