Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
DID NOT FINISH: 25%

You know, everyone is talking about the torture scenes and yes, those weren't my fave.  The main reason I dnf, was the depiction(s) of unresolved grief.   Because they are TOO REAL.  Anyone who's experienced loss, without nice and tidy explanation(s)- should NOT read this book.   The various ways people deal with grief are brutiful (brutal and beautiful) both irl and this book.  Grief is weird.  But grief without concrete answers- fucking sucks.  And the way Slaughter depicts that is- brutiful.  So anyone who's dealing with that should def avoid this book.  And that's maybe the best compliment I can give it.
