I thought the quiet guy in our book club was bluffing about the ending of Gone Girl
We picked Gone Girl for our March meetup at a coffee shop in Boise, and this guy Marcus kept saying he knew the twist on page 40. I figured he was just trying to look smart, so I bet him 20 bucks he couldn't prove it. He pulled out a pocket notebook with 12 page numbers written down and showed us how the diary entries skip certain details on purpose. It was honestly kind of wild how obvious it looked once he walked us through it. Now I always check who is narrating before I trust anything in a thriller. Does your club have that one person who spots stuff way too early, or am I alone in feeling slow?

Wait, 12 page numbers? Gillian Flynn didn't even put the twist on page 40, the first big hint doesn't land until way later, around page 150 or so. Those early diary entries just look weird in hindsight, which is kind of the whole trick. Marcus probably read it before and was messing with you guys.
