as always, moshfegh’s writing as absolutely beautiful and devastating. I am really glad I read this book, but it was a tough read. The main character is not particularly likable but (slight spoiler) <the reason for unpleasantness is based in a lot of anti-immigrant and sexist sentiment she seems to have received throughout her life. you can’t totally recognize how much this has impacted her and left her scared and alone until the end.> the end is quite depressing, but so is life sometimes.
