4.0

This was a tough read for me, especially due to the subject matter. Not saying it's not good, but Sharp Objects is a much heavier read than Gone Girl. I especially relate to the self harm and narcissistic mother. It took me a while to get through it, but I'm glad I finished it. A good example of what generational trauma can do to a family, taken to the extreme.
