“If you asked me to draw a picture of myself I’d draw two. One would be a portrait of a happy, self-confident, regular-looking woman and the other would be a close-up of a giant gaping mouth that’s ravenous for love.

I just finished reading "Gone Girl" and would love to hear your take! I found it EXTREMELY engaging and almost unbearably anxiety-inducing. Interesting in hearing your (always brilliant) analysis!
