    Why Gone Girl Is Worse Than You Think (Part One)
    Oct 11 2025

    This episode breaks down Part 1 of the novel — exploring Nick Dunne’s questionable behavior, Amy’s too-perfect diary, and the art of building (and botching) reader trust. It’s part rant, part writing lesson, and all passion.

    ⚡️ Highlights:

    • Why Nick Dunne is one of the most frustrating protagonists ever written
    • How Amy’s diary creates the illusion of perfection
    • What Gone Girl teaches writers about unreliable narrators and suspense

    So grab your notebook — or your popcorn — and prepare for an unapologetically honest take on the book everyone still argues about.
