I finally read these popular books, and I have thoughts....

So I picked up the book, I read it and this also is going to fall into much like The Housemaid, the category of not for me whatsoever.

I think it's a good book. I would recommend it especially cuz you know it's pretty quick. I really love some of the horror aspects in this, but I wanted to like it a lot more than I did.

The camp that I fall into is the latter. I don't know why I get weirdly like protective and heated about this book when people say that they found it boring.

There's some thrillers I like and I'll say this would be a really good beach read, but I don't understand how anyone could enjoy this book. It just was really not for me.

I was surprised that I did fall into the camp of folks who really loved this book. I have read a couple other books by Donna Tart, so I knew that I loved her writing style.

But, I will say that as much as I did love the ending... I did not love this book. I just had a hard time understanding outside of the fact that Cara clearly hates this kind of person, and you know, shows all these horrible things happening to her.
