Very dark and twisty and hard to stop reading. Even when I thought I know whodunit, there was more! Gillian Flynn is amazingly good at painting a picture with words. She creates these dismal scenarios but she is so good at it that you just have to appreciate it. And she injects humor in such a dark story - you just have to appreciate her talent at it. It was violent and a bit uncomfortable at times but OMG what a great read! Gillian Flynn is a masterful storyteller. I probably liked "Gone Girl" better tho - just because it kept me so on edge!

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this book tbh, it got me at the start but about halfway through I felt like I just wanted to get to the end and see what happened.

I didn't love the ending and some parts of it felt really random, and they never touched on the darkness inside of Libby and Ben- just used it as some sort of red herring. None of the characters really appealed to me and I didn't find myself caring for any of them.

It was an easy read however and it kept my attention to the end, even if I had to drag through the second half.

Probably Gillian Flynn's best book. Gone Girl was great, but this was for sure my Favorite. Sharp Objects was the first of her work that I read and the absolute worst, I'm glad I read this one last.
