Just finished “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn and holy shit, what a ride! This book is absolutely insane in the best way possible. I couldn't put it down - it was like a crazy binge-reading session from start to finish.

Even though I saw the movie ages ago (like 10-11 years back), I barely remembered the plot. But man, this book had me hooked. The story is so gripping and intense, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Flynn's writing is just chef's kiss - amazing.

The characters? Totally fucked up, but in a brilliant way. I mean, “Amazing Amy”? More like Psycho Amy, am I right? But that's what makes it so good. The suspense had me going “what the actual fuck” every other page.

Now, I gotta be real - it did drag a tiny bit in the middle. But honestly, that's just me nitpicking. The ending? Perfection. It wrapped up in a way that left me both satisfied and slightly disturbed (in a good way, if that makes sense).

Overall, this book was a total mindfuck, and I loved every second of it. Solid 4.5 stars out of 5 from me. If you're into thrillers that'll mess with your head, “Gone Girl” is a must-read. Just be prepared to lose sleep because you won't want to stop reading!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
