Brett is a Real Inspiration for Gillian's Third Book, Gone Girl
Yes, you heard the right. The book, Gone Girl released in June 2012, was in fact inspired by the author's own successful marriage to the husband of the lawyer, Nolan. The writer, Gillian said her third book is so profoundly creepy "my ambition is to make spouses look asking each other, thanks to partner Brett Nolan giving her license to write whatever she wants.
She continued saying:
'The funny thing, I guess is that my husband ended up being the muse of a book about the worst marriage in the world, because if he hadn't consistently said, "Don't censor yourself, don't worry about me" - if he'd been anxious and worried about it - then it would never have gotten written.'
Likewise, Gone Girl involves Nick Dunne, a creative writing professor in the small town of Missouri whose wife, Amy, disappears on their fifth wedding anniversary. In fact, Gone Girl had sold over two million copies in both print and digital formats by the end of the year.
