This book centers on Camille, a journalist covering a tragic event in her hometown. While the investigation takes a back seat, the story delves deep into Camille's relationships, particularly with her mother and half-sister, Amma. I appreciated the psychological depth in this novel. Flynn skillfully portrays the different ways people cope with abuse, showing how it can manifest in self-destructive or harmful behaviors.
One aspect I enjoyed was the absence of a big twist. Instead, the story unfolds gradually, making the reader feel like they're uncovering the truth alongside Camille. However, I did find some parts overly descriptive. This made it hard to stay fully engaged.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers that delve into complex relationships and themes, this book is worth a read.

This dark book gives you the creepy vibes all throughout. The HBO series also sheds even more light and brings this novel to life.

He flipado con este libro, en el buen sentido, pero he flipado. Me ha fascinado la psicología de los personajes, a cada cual más retorcido y enfermo. Desde el minuto uno se nota que hay algo muy turbio detrás de los comportamientos raros de las protagonistas, y joder si lo hay. Por sacarle alguna pega, he detestado al interés amoroso, pero eso no quita el hecho de que esta historia es totalmente mi tipo de mierda, jajaja. En resumen, me ha destruido pero me ha encantado.
