Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
My rating: 4/5 cats
okay so i, of course, was initially drawn to this book because it has shiny cover. i am like a magpie or a raccoon or something… and then it just sat on the shelf for ages and one day i read the description of it somewhere. and it’s all “whore” on her ankle and “pain” on her heart or whatever. (which is not on the back cover copy, but is right up there in the goodreads.com description) and i thought – “oooh you are so edgy and shocking!!” and i rolled my eyes and figured i would just never read it. but THEN i was so sleepy today i thought i would just read something unchallenging that it might be fun to write a bad review of. alas, its actually pretty good; and not cheesy-edgy. it can be read in a day, no problem, and it features the most unhealthy mother-daughter relationship i’ve ever read. and i’ve read bastard out of carolina.
