Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

5.0

This is my first time reading anything by this author, and lemme tell ya: Gillian Flynn's writing is impeccable. She describes every scene, character, and object with so much detail that you can actually picture them in your head. The way she characterizes each person and sets up relationships between the characters is something to look up to as a writer. I loved how disturbing some of the people were, especially the children. Flynn does an awesome job of making you feel uncomfortable! I'm sure I'll still be thinking about this book a week or two from now and I'm looking forward to diving into her other works!
