Maintaining

“I’m not good at things like that: haircuts or oil changes or dentist visits. When I moved into my bungalow, I spent the first three months swaddled in blankets because I couldn’t deal with getting the gas turned on. It’s been turned off three times in the past few years, because sometimes I can’t quite bring myself to write a check. I have trouble maintaining.”
- Dark Places, Gillian Flynn

This sounds like one of those beautiful books that you can't quite bring yourself to read because it is definitely not going to be happy...

Oh it's creepy and dark from the get go, then it picks up speed from there. ;-)
