Stephen is a horrible person, but I do think it's important to write books about people like him to show people how they think and operate. I'm sure this book could be a great wake-up call to someone who's stuck in a relationship like this to break the delusions of what you think the other person feels for you. What I love the most about the way she wrote Stephen is that he was incredibly honest with many around him, but people didn't want to listen. They only heard what they wanted to hear from him. Everything else painted him as a creep, so they ignored it. As someone who has had their own toxic (somewhat) codependent relationship that wasn't a relationship, I can understand Lucy's thought process well, and yet even that didn't endear me to her. The eating disorder references were hard to get through. As someone who is recovering, it's hard to read through the mind of someone who has contempt for someone who looks like you.
