I have a couple more of Flynn's books on hold from the library, so it will be interesting to see how she grows as a writer and if she can clear whatever this je ne sais quoi hurdle is.
Also, this isn't a real make-or-break thing, but how flexible is Camille

“Besides, why would a woman do something like that?”
“Why would a man do something like that?”
“… Wind Gap, a town that demands utmost femininity in its fairer sex…”
“‘I don’t mean this to sound cruel… but it seems like a part of your heart can never work if you don’t have kids. Like it will always be shut off.’”
“‘…I mean there’s all this talk these days of God versus science, but it seems like, with babies, both sides agree. The Bible says be fruitful and multiply, and science, well, when it all boils down, that’s what women were made for, right? To bear children.’”
“‘Young ladies must be in control of their bodies because boys are not.’”
“Women didn’t kill this way, they just didn’t. You could count the list of female serial killers on one hand, and their victims were almost always male…”
“‘You’re sexiest. I’m so sick of liberal lefty men practicing sexual discrimination under the guise of protecting women against sexual discrimination…
“‘… And sometimes drunk women aren’t raped; they just make stupid choices - and to say we deserve special treatment when we’re drunk because we’re women, to say we need to be looked after, I find offensive.’”

There are many graphic displays of active self harm and the effects self harm leave behind. It is integral to the plot and prevalent throughout.There is a side character who commits suicide while in a hospital for their mental state.
Child abuse from a parent is prevalent throughout and very disturbing.
