Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
2.0
I think I gave this book 4 stars the first time I read it in 2020.
Now it’s a solid 2 for me.
I thought the writing style wasn’t for me and became unbearable after 50% of the book. It’s the casual racism and weird and irrelevant comments that annoyed me most. Lots of unnecessary details that dragged on and on and on and on that really bore me. Not an enjoyable thriller at all.
I understand the underlying commentary of the book, but feel like we didn’t need all the graphic violence to make a point.
Partly my fault for being stubborn about finishing the book just because.. argh. I’m annoyed.
