I loved Gone Girl too! If you liked that book, you will love Sharp Objects. I know Gone Girl skyrocketed Flynn into fame, but I actually prefer Sharp Objects. I connected more with this female protagonist, and I really felt like she could be a real person. The novel touches on many subjects: self-harm, dysfunctional families, and buried secrets. It really is a thrill. Give it a go, and check out Dark Places too!Timea wrote:I read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and I quite enjoyed it, this looks like a good book too

I've read all of Gillian Flynn's books and this one is by far the darkest, which is what makes it better than Dark Places but still not as good as Gone Girl.
Even though I guessed the ending, I was still able to enjoy the book. This is a good book to read but it's not for the faint of heart.
