9/50 in my summer reading challenge. Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. I loved her other book. This one, I would not recommend. Bleak, mean, unsympathetic women. Men who are either spineless trod-upons or manipulative cads. The whole book was just one miserable person abusing another miserable person until it ended. Blah. Her other book had 'troubled' characters too, but they felt more sympathetic to me. This book just made me depressed and uncomfortable. Onto lighter fare for my next read!
