This was genuinely so fucking wild. It's like a modern American Psycho set around the power imbalance women have.

The character in general is just unlikeable, and that kinda makes me dislike the book. There's not much character development, she remains narcissistic and the way she talks about herself is "pick me" and ahhh. 

I do like the story though, it did make me want to read on (mostly in the hopes that SOMEONE would humble the protagonist) Most of my reading of this was done in a 2hr time-blindness read between midnight and 2am.

I liked this book, it made me realize that I find stories about fucked up women fascinating. 

It also made me realize that this is what My Year of Rest and Relaxation wants to be and falls drastically short. I have also seen this compared to American Psycho but for girls. And you know what, I liked that story as well (I've only watched it, not read it). 

I think this says something bad about me, just not sure what. But I think this is a successful story because of the commentary rather than the behavior displayed by the MC. I mean, girlfriend needs therapy BAD. But her support system failed her from the beginning, starting with her relationship with her mother and the things she goes on to experience in her early years.

 This is pretty privilege at play as well, which allows her to get away with lots of things. In fact its the main question she tried to find an answer to. This book feel like running your tongue over a recently extracted tooth. Painful, horrifying even, but hard to stop exploring.
