I loved Gone Girl, so I decided to give Sharp Objects a chance when it became available on @libby.app. Although this one didn’t have quite the same intensity as Gone Girl, it was still really good; I could definitely see the growth that Flynn made as a writer. I found that I had such conflicting feelings about the main character, Camille, due to the different depths to her personality that we encounter. Let me tell you- I HATED 95% of the characters encountered in this story, so it helped me feel like I could understand how Camille became the woman she is after escaping Missouri. Her mother is horrid, and her little sister is a nightmare of a child. Although I won’t say too much about Camille’s issues and coping methods, I can say her choices make much more sense after getting to know her family. Flynn has successfully left me with zero desire to check out Missouri in the future, as her stories tend to shine a light on some of the worst parts of living in a small town. I thought that actual investigation of the murders was interesting, and I enjoyed trying to puzzle out the villain as more details emerged. I won’t say who, but I actually did guess who the murderer turned out to be; I’m curious to know who you think it is if you check this title out!
