This was a book so outside my comfort zone genre-wise, but I still ended up genuinely enjoying it (if "enjoy" is the verb you'd use for a book like this). I have a weak stomach when certain topics, such cutting, murders, drugs, and even sex, are discussed. I'm such a weakling in that way. With this book though, even at the moments I got weak-kneed and uncomfortable, I still couldn't get myself to stop reading. It was such a gripping novel. It's set in this super messed-up town, with super messed-up yet interesting characters, with such a dark atmosphere and aura all throughout it. It was a book I thought I would like, didn't think I would love, but ended up obsessed with while reading anyway. I can't wait to read more Gillian Flynn novels.
