So I hated gone girl. I read it when I was 17 and found the characters insufferable. For that reason, I never picked up another one of Gillian Flynn’s books until now.
Sharp Objects is a fantastic mystery, a raw look at what it’s like to grow up female and have a horrible relationship with your mother. It’s fucked up, but in a way that makes you keep reading. It took me until the last moment to figure out the twist, which had me thinking “oh shit, of course!”.
Very good, would absolutely recommend if you enjoy fucked up mysteries. Probably could’ve done without repeatedly describing a 13yo’s breasts, though.
I would also recommend reading the trigger warnings before touching this book as some of the descriptions of self harm are quite graphic. Stay safe.

big CW obviously for self harm, but also from gross sexualization of minors from a 30 year old woman, one of which is her little sister lmao, and victim blaming + internalized misogyny. The main character is gross.
