Gone Girl

Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times best seller Gillian Flynn, takes that statement to its darkest place in this unpausable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.

3 stars equal to the number of my highlights. After reading Sharp Objects, I guess I just expected more...teeth.

"It's a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters. And if all of us are play-acting, there can be no such thing as a soul mate, because we don't have genuine souls."

"You'd think that would be something a grown woman would realize on her own, but...I guess that's what husbands are for. To point out what we can't see for ourselves, even if it takes five years."

"My mom talked, my sister talked. I'd been raised to listen. So, sitting on the couch by myself, not talking, felt decadent."

I loved this book and could not put it down... but then it faltered at the end. At least for me.
