A Goodreads user asked this question about Sharp Objects:
Can anyone tell me the target audience for Sharp Objects? I'm a 22 year old male, and I enjoyed Gone Girl. Would I be interested in this book, or is it targeted more towards females?

It is quite graphic and there are scenes of self-harm too. I was 17 when I read this and people under 16 should not read this book. But as you are 22, you can and will enjoy this. It's great. And to hell with Gender-based reads. Go ahead and read it. It is an underrated book and it doesn't matter what kind of audience you are as long as you like books that give you insight into what certain things can become. (less)
