Yep. Was supposed to be a murder mystery but wasn’t at all.

Agreed. I really enjoyed sharp objects, however.

I loved it.

I loved the silent patient. Many plot holes. But I found it creepy overall and couldn’t put down. Guest list was terrible.

I loved the movie as a kid. I have the book on my to read list. Very similar?

Meh. I liked sharp objects way more. But it’s well reviewed and many loved it, so please read and enjoy!!!!

I love physical books. I also have an e reader. Just doesn’t feel the same as a real book and I have had it for almost a year. Just an odd unsettled feeling, and an inability to immerse myself as completely as I do with an actual book. However, convenience, ability to bring multiple books on a small device, etc are the positives of the e reader

Sorry I didn’t mean you saying it was trauma porn, just the general comments from other readers. And yes, we can definitely disagree and still discuss. :)

Some call it trauma porn but I disagree. Some people’s lives are actually that awful. Not every story has a happy ending. It was very emotional, didn’t cry either, definitely won’t read again, but very good book.
