Gone Girl was one of my favorites of 2012: not great literature, just a very fun read.

The "not great literature" part kept this page-turner from my list. The twists of the plot were fantastic, but I thought the writing was clunky and the male perspective missed the mark. It didn't help that I read it after reading Edith Wharton, who captured the essence of a trapped man perfectly in
Ethan Frome.
