I was gone, girl. This book utilizes a lot of fake rape myths and while ideally, I can separate out fiction and reality - it just feels like it doesn't do anything to add to the thriller literature genre. I have no idea how this is popular because I felt super angry reading this. This work of fiction's popularity does nothing but perpetuate the "psychotic women who fake her rape" myth and the main protagonist, Nick Dunne, is unbearable to read.  From a writer's standpoint, Gillian does a good job at fleshing out characters and pacing the events. I.. This was a mediocre read to be honest. I don't get the hype.
