I found this book interesting, and I read through it pretty quickly. I cannot say that I liked it as much as I liked <i> Sharp Objects </i> by the same author, but it was still an interesting read. I think there were some passages that felt weirdly phrased and out of place, although I can't recall a super specific example. I think the story was captivating (obviously to a lot of audiences, based on the general ratings) but I think the ending was lackluster and didn't give me what I wanted out of the book. It felt like a letdown because the author didn't know what to do with the corner she had written herself into. 
Time to watch the film, so I can carefully compare and contrast, just like I did with <i> Sharp Objects </i>
