GONE GIRL * THE CHOCOLATE MONEY

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn -  This is a fabulous murder mystery written in two voices.  Nick and Amy married and were very happy until both lost their jobs and moved from a great New York City lifestyle to Nick's hometown in Missouri.   Amy's first chapter is hooked me.  She is typical entitled New York girl, Nick is a regular guy, albeit extremely good looking.  The story will keep you wondering what each of them is going to do next, right up until the final sentence.  This book has twists and turns galore, and the alluring voices of our narrators will keep you turning the pages.  You will not forget Amy for a long long time, and if you're a guy, just be careful.  You never know what is going on in your wife's mind. 






The Chocolate Money by Ashley Prentice Norton  - This fun and smutty little read is about poor little rich girl Bettina, daughter of Chicago socialite Babs.  Babs is larger than life and a force of nature, while Bettina is just a kid trying to get any kind of attention from her mother.  It's surprisingly readable and I enjoyed every page.  Chic lit with a bite.
