Sharp Objects

This book is really difficult to review! The characters are just so unlikeable (seemingly intentional on the author's part).
-
And the entire vibe of the book just gets under your skin in a negative way. Yet it somehow manages to addictively draw you in!
-
It's truly a bizarre feeling that is challenging to fully verbalize.
-
It did clip along quickly, which I liked.
-
There's a lot of drug and alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, and self-harm throughout the book.
-
I also think the author blatantly used âshock valueâ in her writing, which somewhat cheapened the book for me.
-
Overall, I'm not regretful that I read it but I really didn't like it⦠yet I kinda did!
