I loved this book and finished it in a day. Picture a fast-paced combination of Agatha Christie and Black Mirror. At first, this book was slightly confusing, but enough clues are scattered around the book that you begin to pick things up gradually. T

“The police called it choking, but I called it a two-handed neck hug. That’s how I knew she really loved me.”
― Whenever You're Gone, I'm Here For You
― Whenever You're Gone, I'm Here For You
“You do realize, that if you actually dated her, saw her on a regular basis, lived with her, that she would find some fault with you, right? That she would find some things about you that drove her crazy. That she'd make demands of you that you wouldn't like. That she'd get angry at you?”
― Gone Girl
― Gone Girl
“You are a man. You are an average, lazy, boring, cowardly, woman-fearing man. Without me, that's what you would have kept on being, ad nauseam. But I made you into something. You were the best man you've ever been with me. And you know it. The only time in your life you've ever liked yourself was pretending to be someone I might like.”
― Gone Girl
― Gone Girl
“You stopped loving me. We're a sick, fucking toxic Möbius strip, Amy. We weren't ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves - surprise! - we were poison. We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way. You don't even really love me, Amy. You don't even like me. Divorce me. Divorce me, and let's try to be happy.”
― Gone Girl
― Gone Girl
“Just as Amy took the credit for making me my best self, I had to take the blame for bringing the madness to bloom in Amy. There were a million men who would have loved, honored, and obeyed Amy and considered themselves lucky to do so. Confident, self-assured, real men who wouldn't have forced her to pretend to be anything but her own perfect, rigid, demanding, brilliant, creative, fascinating, rapacious, megalomaniac self.”
