Amy and Nick Dunn have the perfect life and are the perfect couple until they reach a breaking point, revealing their true selves. The book that spawned dozens of imitators but few peers, Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl is this week’s read on the latest Books We’ve Loved. Andrew Limbong and B. A. Parker are joined by <a href="https://gretamjohnsen.substack.com/"target="_blank" >Greta Johnsen</a> to divulge how this suspense thriller continuously brings fans back to this story.
