I have fallen in love with this book. Its risqué, its out there, its CRAZZY! I found myself constantly reading this book. If you don't have a problem with taboo material, or perhaps even enjoy a read about such things, this book is definitely for you!
When my teacher recommended it to me, I thought it'd be one of those typical murder mystery stories... but its not. Its much more (imo). It's deep, I swear lol.
The Story:
(out of 5)

Characters:
(out of 5)
Camille Preaker: The reporter, who grew up in a small town with a rich family. Her sister died when she was young, and she's never fully gotten over it.
Amma: Camille's half-sister. Despite being only 13, she has rather large breasts, dresses daintily, flirts with everyone, and is very manipulative.
Adora: Camille & Amma's mother.
Believability:
(out of 5)
Well there's always murders, they're not really that hard to believe. And this isn't really that outlandish of a murder either. Its the characters that really make this story and, oh boy, are they horrifically believable.

I suppose I wasn't left with any real "life-changing" information, but you can relate to the characters, and you're likely to never forget the story.

Flynn is an amazing writer, and keeps you locked in. She's not too ornate or descriptive, but just enough so. She has a lovely imagination, and isn't afraid to "go there."
