Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
2.0

This book was longer than it needed to be in my opinion. I had to try twice to read it, the first time I was so bored and HATED the characters. Second try I finished it. The second half of the book picked up a little more to at least make me wonder how it would end. By the time I got to the end I was left feeling like “that’s it? That’s how we leave it?” And I STILL hated the characters. I can’t say I really enjoyed the book itself but I did like that I actually couldn’t figure out where it was going. I’ll definitely try another book by the author, maybe one I have heard anything about, no hype to raise expectations.
