Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
2.0

This book makes you face some uncomfortable truths, my favourite being -"The world stops for you when you're pretty. That's why women spend billions on crap for their faces. Their whole life, they're the centre of attention. People want to be around them just because they're attractive. Their jokes are funnier. Their lives are better."

But for all its brutal honesty and graphic violence, the book is fairly ridiculous. It didn't shock me like Gone Girl did, neither did acts of heinous sexual crimes, gory & disgusting as they were, repulse me. Would've been a much better read had it been crisper and a tab bit more credible.
