HOLY SHIT that was quite a book. i watched the movie 5-6 years ago, and i’m glad i didn’t remember the specifics.
this was SUCH A GOOD BOOK i don’t even know what to say.

when it’s revealed that the diary entries are FAKE i just knew i was up for a HELL of a ride. i knew the basics of the movie, and i wasn’t sure how it would pan out in the book format but it went SO WELL.

5 stars no wonder it’s such a good movie highly recommend can’t wait to read sharp objects!

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. TOTAL MINDF. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FRUSTRATED. MY STOMACH IS EMPTY. MY HEAD HURTS. I HATE EVERYONE IN THIS (some more than others). BUT WHAT. I FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS INSIDE OUT. PLOT TWIST ASF. TWO COMPLETELY UNTRUSTWORTHY POVS. FUDJUSDHJDIDHDJDDJ. VERY DARK VERY TWISTED VERY TOXIC. I HATE THE ENDING. SO ANGRY. BUT I FEEL LIKE THATS THE WHILE THING. STILL I HATE IT AND IT WILL KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT WHICJ IS WHY I KNOCK IT DOWN 0.5.

**POSSIBLE ALLUSION TO SPOILER***
 I DISLIKE WHEN AUTHORS MAKE ME FEEL BAD FOR PEOPLE AND THEN SWITCH TF UP. I FEEL CHEATED. BUT SHAIN THAT MAY JUST BE THE WHOLE POINT. BUT UGH. I DONT LIKE BEING WRONG.
