A review by auohcanruon
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

4.0

this was one of the best thrillers i’ve read recently, and simultaneously, one of the hardest. i don’t think i’ve ever a book as brutal, and straight-up wild as this. there were so many moments i just closed it because it got super, super uncomfortable. but one sentiment that remained throughout the entire thing is sadness.

this is an incredibly sad and painful story, and reading sam caroll’s last entry was so tearful. although i expected an emotionally chaotic and complex ending, the fact that it wrapped up the way it did was satisfying to me, because i don’t think i could’ve handled anything more.

this was really good, and i like being clueless and constantly on the lookout because you don’t know who to trust. i’d only recommend this to people who can stomach extremely brutal, and heart-wrenching gory scenes, written in the most descriptive details.
