For the Book Riot 2016 Read Harder challenge, this title fell under Task 18 (Read a Book That Was Adapted Into a Movie, though I have no immediate plans to see the movie), and one other task (view spoiler)[Task 24 (Read a book with a main character that has a mental illness) (hide spoiler)]. 
 It's funny how this keeps turning out -- I really like movies, but not many books I've read for this challenge have made me want to see the movies adapted from them. In this case, it was the characters: I didn't like Nick or Amy, or any of the minor characters, and this was a very character-driven story. I was curious about the plot since it's been so hyped, so I pushed through, but it ultimately wasn't all that satisfying. There were some interesting aspects (view spoiler)[the unreliable narrator (hide spoiler)], and a few gems (view spoiler)[I liked the "Cool Girl" theory (hide spoiler)], but many problems as well (view spoiler)[Did Nick have to be that indifferent? After the initial shock, he didn't even seem really upset or curious about where she'd disappeared to. And I know Amy was supposed to be smart and perfect, but why were all the other women (except Boney!) so "inferior" to her? so stupid, or shallow, or crass? also rape apology, using pregnancy and fake pregnancy to trap men, blah blah blah gross (hide spoiler)].
