A review by zouubugz
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
- Loveable characters? No
2.0
Where to start ?
The characters were truly all despicable, I wanted to hit them all in the face. I don't really like the writing and the author apparently loves to sexualise the body of 13yo girl or talk about how active their sex lives were and I found this really disturbing.
Also, our main character used to self harm and I think the depiction of it was offensive and it just seems to me like the author never s-h before or even talked to someone who did and only used it to make her character more "interesting". I hated it.
I read the whole thing in a day because I was foolishly hoping the ending would be worth it but now it's 3am and I'm deeply disappointed cause wtf. Anyone could have seen this coming from miles away and there were literal plot holes. Oh and the whole thing was unrealistic.
Conclusion: waste of time and money.
