Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
4.0
I enjoyed the first half of this book, with the mystery and things. The end was kind of... anticlimactic but somehow still insane. Amy and Nick were both very unlikeable, but i feel that could be intentional. Amy was psychotic. I really enjoyed the diary aspect of the novel because i felt it gave us a look inside the persona that Amy had been creating all along. We pitied her, we felt bad for her. And then it's this big turn around and it's like.. "Whoops... gotcha. I'm actually psychotic and anytime someone does something that even slightly upsets me I turn on them and strive to make their lives miserable." overall, I enjoyed it but it wasn't the grand scheme and mystery i was expecting, even though it did keep me entertained.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

Oh my god??? okay like I went into this not expecting a lot. I knew that there was some big twist and I knew it was really hyped up last year but other than that I really knew nothing.
I thought the writing was really interesting style. It was very poetic and almost reminded me of Tahereh Mafi at times?? Once I got used to the dramatic metaphors they were really interesting to read. The first one about getting shot was really intense and I had to like step back and put it down because woah?? My only thing is I never really understood where the "Liars" name came from??
But the end was just so intense and I didn't really see it coming?? I knew there was a twist but I didn't expect it to be THAT??
Overall I really enjoyed this book. Not what I was expecting.
