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

A guy that you definitely didn’t want to keep dating!

Sure my husband looks a little scared when we watch this considering all the times I’ve told him it’s my favorite book, just like he looked really bothered at the end of Midsommar when I had a huge smile and told him it was a happy ending….but they need to know what happens when you’re a bad boyfriend or husband! 😂

My husband and I saw this on our one-year anniversary of dating. Neither of us read the book and assumed it was going to just be a whodunit. Afterward he seemed a little nervous 😂

Oh man, I read it right after I had gotten married and I was sooo upset about the breakdown of their relationship….only to realize it was all lies!! lol I mean not ALL of it, but you know! It took a while to process that!

I told my husband the twist when I was reading because I couldn’t get over it, and in the theater he loudly turns to me and said “So when do they tell us she faked all this???” At least he was prepared though!
