A review by irxren
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

3.0

This book centers on Camille, a journalist covering a tragic event in her hometown. While the investigation takes a back seat, the story delves deep into Camille's relationships, particularly with her mother and half-sister, Amma. I appreciated the psychological depth in this novel. Flynn skillfully portrays the different ways people cope with abuse, showing how it can manifest in self-destructive or harmful behaviors.

One aspect I enjoyed was the absence of a big twist. Instead, the story unfolds gradually, making the reader feel like they're uncovering the truth alongside Camille. However, I did find some parts overly descriptive. This made it hard to stay fully engaged.

If you enjoy psychological thrillers that delve into complex relationships and themes, this book is worth a read.
