Gone Girl (Week 9)

November 20, 2015

WHOO! Finally finished!!!

Man... Let me tell you. I feel so sorry for poor Nick, even though he's a cheater. I despise cheaters. After Amy lies to the public about her kidnap/rape story with Desi, she just mosies on back to Nick acting like they can actually live happily ever after. Nick is not stupid and KNOWS that she literally just murdered this man for fun. For fun. Maybe not out of pleasure, but because it'd be easier to lie to the public than tell them that she framed Nick. Wow... look at that sentence I just wrote. 

"...because it'd be easier"

As in, it'd be easier to kill Desi. It's easier to murder someone than tell the truth. Never thought I'd ever say that.

He can't even look at her without wanting to actually kill her. But knowing her implicitly explosive personality and quick thinking, trying to get away will only cause more problems. She will find something, ANYTHING, to ruin him and make her look like the winner. Because Amy always has to win. If she's not winning, someone's gonna die. So Nick wanders and ponders how he's gonna stay sane while he's stuck in this twisted relationship.

Can I say the ending on here?

I mean, this is a blog post so I guess I will. If you don't wanna know how the book ends, stop reading here. This will be your only warning. --SPOLIER ALERT--

If Nick wasn't stuck enough in the relationship already, there's DEFINITELY no way out this time. You want to guess how?

Come on, take a quick guess.

Pregnancy. Yep, and it's REAL this time!!

Even though Nick never even dared to touch Amy since her return, she still had Nick's semen in the clinic from a previous attempt to get pregnant (before her disappearance, when she seemed normal). Now, not only is she pregnant, she's pregnant with a boy... The child Nick always wished he could have with Amy. He's gotta stay and promise to be the best husband ever by ALSO being the best father ever, or he's going to die, basically. Plus, he has to think about the child, because as Nick puts it, "You can hate a situation, but you can't hate a child." Fabulous words of wisdom, Nick. 

I wish you the best.
