I review books for Rachel Reading. Check it out! 
 So, I am totally obsessed with Gone Girl. It's obvious, and whenever people ask me what to read next I usually ask, "Have you read Gone Girl yet?" So any time someone talks to me about it, I immediately remembered that I needed to finish Dark Places. 
 This book was good, and has everything I love in fiction books, twists and turns, cults (I have a whole shelf on Goodreads for cults) and a good old whodunit like I'm watching "The First 48" or "Law and Order SVU" 
 It wasn't Gone Girl, but I'm not sure if anything CAN be Gone Girl, but Gillian Flynn is a master, that's for sure. Especially because you can see how much her writing and mastery has grown throughout her books. She seems to have perfected the art of unexpected plot twists, and I absolutely loved how your perspective of characters completely changed throughout the book. She's a wonderful wonderful author, and I would recommend her writing to pretty much anyone. She has a way of making really really uncomfortable topics, somewhat bearable, and even if they make you feel super uncomfortable you read them anyway. 
 Seriously I'm in awe.
