Gone Girl
Gillian FlynnMatt Smith - TWENTYMILE out nowReacquainting myself with GONE GIRL. I know it stirred a whole conversation about “unlikeable female characters” but I find myself despising both husband and wife with a passion. It can’t be easy to write a book this compelling about two people I hope drown in the Mississippi.
