Update. Well, I got to the 3rd chapter and deleted it. Thought it stupid. I have too many good books on my Kindle to waste my time with this. Good thing it was free. Anyone else try it? This just popped up on my Pixel of Ink email. Great reviews, hysterically funny parody of Gone Girl. Marriage can be a real nightmare; especially when your wife is a sociopath, who's either trying to kill you, frame you for her disappearance or maybe even both. Supported by his sister whose own behavior is inappropriate at best, a pair of lunatic detectives and in-laws with questionable motives, Rick Dunce tries to navigate the tricky waters of exactly how one should act when the woman he absolutely can’t stand disappears without a trace. If this Husband-of-the-Year is truly responsible, did he act in self-defense or did one too many bizarre quiz questions or inane treasure hunt clues finally push him over the edge? Whether Winnie is missing, dead or just hiding out, the only thing that's certain is she's so far gone that it's not even funny— except that it is. A parody of, Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn's acclaimed and runaway bestselling masterpiece, So Far Gone, Girl— will leave you doubled over with laughter, gasping for breath and checking to see if your own ottoman can really balance on its side like that. So Far Gone, Girl

Thanks! I just got it. I was very late to the Gone Girl game and only read it about two months ago. All I could say about it at the end was that those two deserved each other!!

Exactly. It was like the author was trying too hard to be funny. I can't see it getting better. I quit when the detectives found his anniversary device in the basement. Seriously.

I didn't even get that far. I think I got partway through chapter one and quit. I am reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower now and it's an easy read.

Thanks. It was 99p on Amazon UK. Oh dear Annie, I may have just wasted your 99p. So sorry. Unless you like stupid, dumb, no point to this book kind of reading. I owe you one!
