Mrs. Manfra read...

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

If you are into plot twists and books that make you think then you are going to like this book.  The main characters are Nick and Amy Dunne -- a married couple from New York that move back to Missouri so that Nick can help out his family.  The author divides the book into three parts: his story, her story, and both of them together.  Your opinion about the characters will be changed from one part to another.
Gillian Flynn does an incredible job of creating characters that are believable and creates a story dealing with hot topics like domestic violence, the importance of public opinion, how difficult relationships and marriage can be, revenge and even staging your own disappearance.
The movie is already out, but I wanted to read the book first and I am glad I did.  If you like crime dramas and trying to figure out what will happen next this is a book for you.
