Gone Girl Well! Fairly early on I thought I knew what was gonna happen in this book, and then halfway through my theory got blown so far out of the water it ended up in a tree. In the middle of a desert. On Mars.

All in all, this was a great read. Enough intrigue to keep me interested, and I think it was well written. Took half a star off because I wasn't overly happy with the ending, but I can't really say any more without giving it away.
