This past weekend I started reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and finished it in 2 days. I could not put it down. It is the most perfect combination of psychocrazyb*tch syndrome and a love story. I mean, planning your own murder and framing your husband as an anniversary gift is insane, but what is even more crazy is the fact that she lives out everything in life in her mind. She imagines a scenario, the dialogue, the setting, the characters, the plot twist- she creates everything in her mind and expects it to translate into real life situations.
But that is not to say her husband is a saint either. He has some crazy in him as well. I'll try not to spoil it but by the end of the book I actually empathized with crazy Gone Girl. (probably because I have created a scene or two in my head and would get upset when things didn't go according to plan-just not to this extreme)
I wish I would have picked this up sooner. I was trying to avoid it with all the headlines it made but it is hands down deviously brilliant.
I also finished The Book of Money for the Young, Fabulous and Broke by Suze Orman. For some reason I was a bit skeptical about this book, I have no idea why though. It is extremely easy to read and she really does "dumb" financial lingo down. I was particularly interested in the investment section which she explained beautifully for someone without of lick of knowledge about business. I can't say I love every bit of advice she offers. I am no millionaire but I am entitled to my own opinions. What I do love is how encouraging she is of your passions. Doing what you love and turning it into a career is possible. Orman explains the difference between jobs and a career very well and I definitely plan on using her expert advise. Great read with really helpful guidelines to getting out of debt and building your portfolio.
