Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn

LOVED this book. It was really well written with a great, fast-paced plot. It was a mystery/thriller style book, but it also really hit on some points about relationships and marriage that were spot-on... although most marriage issues (hopefully) do not get quite to the extreme as Nick and Amy's did in this book. I thought for a while that the author was trying to pull some trite allusion to Great Gatsby, with Nick as the potentially unreliable narrator, but she proved me wrong. The book took all the right twists and turns, except at the end. I can think of a couple of better endings, but my lack of complete satisfaction with this ending in no way destroyed by absolute enjoyment of this book. Take it on vacation; you'll read it in a day or two.
