A review by mr_cain
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

challenging dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

The twist at the end really ran me ragged. Books that divide your life into a before and after.
