What a twist at the end!

Overall this is a good book. But, in my opinion, is was a slow book. The story revolves around the main character, Camille and her relationship with her mother and step family. While reading the book you might think you know who the killer is, but in the end there is a twist you might not thought of and there you will understand why the killer did what they did.

Good Psychological Thriller

I read this on audible and wondered if I would have preferred reading this book directly. The story was good and unpredictable but none of the characters were redeemable humans, and it felt really slow at some point. I'm glad I read the story but I'm wondering if perhaps it was built up too high and set my expectations unreasonably high. Good overall!

Sharp Objects

Camille Preaker is a so/so newspaper reporter in Chicago that gets sent to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri to cover the murder of a young girl the year before and a girl that is missing now. Camille herself has several issues - she's never gotten over the death of a younger sister when she was a child herself, self-mutualization after that, a mother that hates her and the fact that Camille is an alcoholic. Soon after Camille arrives the missing girl is found dead. An intense fast-moving book that certainly gets very creepy. Things spiral out of control. Unknowingly I started reading the book and soon realized that it was a series I watched in 2018 on HBO staring Amy Adams. So, it was kind of disappointing to realize that I pretty much knew what was going to happen and how it would end. I still enjoyed the book anyways.

0 Stars

If I could give this book 0 stars I would. I was so disappointed because I loved gone girl but the main character was boring and the killer was predictable.

Amazing! But don’t bother with the HBO show lol

First of all: THE TWIST ENDING, AMAZING!! A slow build but absolutely worth it for the ending. A tale of how unbroken trauma leads to escalating outcomes.
