Unreliable narrators

Some are a mix of different genres, but all have a definite case of unreliable narrator, which makes everything very interesting.

Omgggg, I’ve been so curious about gone girl!!!! I feel like this is a sign, you’ve given me my answer. I have to now

2

I AM BEYOND THRILLED FOR YOU TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE! PLEASE LMK YOUR THOUGHTS!

2

Okkkk, so I’ve just got it! And have started reading it! Be prepared for the updates

2

yay i’m so excited, can’t wait! enjoy it!

2

Okkkk, I’m 15% in and so far I’m seeing the unreliable narrators. I’m like, what is going on and where tf is Amy? Already not keen on Nick, I have to say. But loving the drama and i like reading Amy’s bit bc its like im reading her diary

2

this is the best news ever, i am so thrilled to hear you’re enjoying it! flynn’s writing is truly immersive and incredible. if nick has no haters i am dead lmao

3

Okkkkkkkk, I’ve just finished Gone Girl and can I just say….. wowwwww, was that a ride! Such a wild and fascinating story. Also, loved the writing so much, it went back and forth from relatable to in depth descriptions. You are an amazing for this recommendation!!! This is my kind of thing and this just solidified it for me lol! I’m sending many virtual platonic kisses and hugs your way for this

I'M BEYOND THRILLED! Thank you for trusting me with the rec and going in full force, but it is TOTALLY worth the reward! It's a completely different experience than watching the movie. The internal dialogues of a man made me want to HURL. I was desperate to get out of Nick's mind lol and Amy was batshit crazy but I loved her

3

Rightttttt!! I watched the movie and i was like i would have missed out on all these extra lil descriptions. I could not standdddd Nick omfggggg lol

It really is, and I love the inner monologue; it genuinely feels like I’m mind reading. No, frrrrr though, that’s so valid because how is this man married but knows absolutely nothing about Amy???? Whatttt. He genuinely seems more terrified that the police might accuse him than where she is. Also, I cannot get over the ‘Killer smile’ bit. What on earthhhhh!!! You really wouldn’t think he’s concerned at all. Also the treasure hunts are so corny to me, maybe bc its between a couple idk lol😂

Please add The silent patient and Lolita!

2

Oooooooo yesss!!! Done

2

Please add The Axeman’s Carnival by Catherine Chidgey!

2

Ohhh wow I need to put that in my tbr! Done

1

May I recommend the Secret History for this list?

2

Of course!!! Just added. I sooo need to start it

2

I personally think it is really good

2

You Let me in by Camilla Bruce would fit this list. It's a very dark story about a girl who comes in contact with faeries (the cryptid kind not the sexy ones) and whose reality is very different from everybody else's and you never know what's actually happening.

2

Ohhh wow sounds very interesting!! Added rn! Would defo be into something like that

1

It's a fascinating read, just be sure to check the content warnings as it deals with some heavy topics like CSA

2

Ohhh ok will do! Thank uuu. It’s been added on my tbr looks good

2

Anything Alice Feeney has written would fit the bill!

2

Oooooo ok! Do u have any specific recs?

1

I’d start with Sometimes I Lie and His & Hers, Good Bad Girl - but she’s an auto-buy author for me. Her pacing is stellar I run through them quick!

1

Ooooo ok so far I have the beautiful ugly book but just got the his and hers book bc there was an offer on it! I’m excited I need a good thriller

1

Yay! I’d start with His & Hers but I enjoyed both
