Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
5.0

I remember reading Gone Girl in 2015 and thinking "what the hell?" "what the hell?" like 10 times in a row. My preferred genre is thriller type books. The only way that someone knows if I like a book is if I have a hard time deciphering who the killer is. This book was it!

Like Gone Girl, I was confused all the way to the end of the book. Camille character was most intriguing to me. I was fascinated with her mind and how she processed her emotions. Which lead me to believe that her moving home to try to solve a murder for a newspaper article was going to be an added difficulty. Camille's boss at the newspaper was not what I expected him to be. I did not expect him to actually care about Camille or her mental health but there had to be someone who truly cared about her in order for the flow of the book to go smoothly.

I am working on not giving away spoilers. Trust me, just when you think you figured out Camille's family dynamics... You realize that you are wrong! Another great read by a fantastic author Gillian Flynn!
