Over the weekend, I checked out the book Gone Girl from the ebook library based on soaring recommendations from my friends, Goodreads, and even my mom!
The story's views are split into the present and the past; the present narrated by Nick Dunne, and the past is written about in journals of his wife Amy.
While I'm only about 60 pages in, there isn't much to talk about. The premise seems promising, starting by offering a sense of action: the disappearance of present day Amy on the "happy couple's" five year anniversary.
So far, I have enjoyed the reality of these relationships: much too often, people in novels fall in love unconditionally and all at once. I lucked out once again: these characters were leaning (more realistically) towards the kind of relationship where they cover their feelings and pretend like things are "no big deal" instead of the usual picture perfect couple who solves every issue promptly and efficiently.
Sorry for the short post. All I can really say is that I'm eager to continue this book!

Sounds interesting. I want to know why Amy disappeared.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book. I like this post because it's short yet it still touches on a lot of information.
