I originally picked up Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter after seeing it on the New York Times' Best Seller List for quite some time. I love psychological thrillers and I had heard this book was likened to Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train (both of which I was totally enamored with) so I was really excited to start reading!
I was not disappointed, although a quick disclaimer that this book is not for the fainthearted! This book was absolutely phenomenal, but I also don't think I have ever read a book that has had me feeling so queasy or left me with such unease. If you're anything like me this book will leave you with tears in your eyes and chills running up and down your spine.
Pretty Girls is one of those books where the mystery becomes more and more intricate with every page. The descriptions are graphic and every detail is poignant! I found myself going back and rereading certain sections to make sure I picked up on every single word. I love books where you can tell that the author spent time making sure every single question is answered and that every piece of information fits together, and this book is definitely one of them. I didn't sleep for 2 days until I finished this book because it was that engrossing (and horrifying).
READ, READ, READ!!!
