Gone Girl

I have finally finished reading what seemed to be the 2015 book/film of the year - Gone Girl, and what a harrowing read that was. What a crazy, psychotic tale about a marriage of true - but utterly depraved - minds! I was left a little more fearful of coupling up. Do couples really know each other? What if the person you married is not the person you think they are? What a truly terrifying thought! The story made me think about our perfectly crafted lives on our social media pages that possibly obscured darker truths, and of the power struggle evident in every relationship. I was left wondering if a truly equal partnership could be had in modern marriages.

The switch between the perspectives of husband and wife were really effective, and I was kept on my toes wondering who was the sane one, who was telling the truth, and then who would have the upper hand in the end.
