A review by pineconek
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
5.0
2021 reread: I loved it in 2013, I loved the TV adaptation, and I loved it in 2021. Nothing beats a thriller that remains gripping even when you know the twist. This book is so dark and so heavy and I recommend it if you're into that sort of thing.

This is the quintessential perfect short thriller, as far as I'm concerned. It's also by far my favourite Gillian Flynn novel. Short and sweet, keeps you guessing, explores so much darkness, and has a satisfying albeit abrupt ending.
The TV adaptation is also perfect, but I recommend reading the book first.
