Better than Dark Places but not as good as Sharp Objects. Ms. Flynn is a beautiful writer; there are neither too many nor too few words. It's a joy to read her work in the midst of crap like 50 Shades
She Thought What?!?! Rants, Raves, and In-Betweens

I decided to not do a full review. Doing so would mean I'd have to dig deep and go into some pretty heavy spoilers. Maybe I'll do something like that in the future, but for now I'm just telling you my raw thoughts. I loved this book. I really didn't expect to like it so much. People are divided ...

I was working at the local library when this book came out. I saw it in an endless progression of holds lists and took many requests. I read the jacket copy and kept shrugging it off.

This was a page turner my first time through. Having foresight of all the bombshells and lobbyists, I could focus on character development and the construction of the story. I definitely noticed some things that went right pat me before. Nick is a prick and Amy is a psycho bitch. The ending was...

I think I'm just going to mark this one as read. It wasn't read in order, but I read enough of it. I can't decide exactly how to rate it though.
