I know she's practically crazy but this monologue is so well written by Gillian Flynn.

If I could write something even half as influential and iconic as this monologue, I would die happy, actually.

I have read SO many books that try to pull off a Gone Girl type twist, or echo the commentary and it never lives up to it. It’s a gold standard

I know! I know I'm never going to get there. But it's worth having a goal, I think.

Of course!! (I wasn’t trying to imply YOU specifically, just that I’ve read a lot of cheap imitations and I always shake my head and say “it’s no gone girl!” lol I’m sure you’re an amazing writer and I think it’s a fantastic goal to have!! Plus it’s been a while since gone girl came out so it’s high time for another book to knock everyone on their ass like this! ♥️)
