This book takes place entirely inside the crumbling mind of a woman isolating herself, daughter, and father in their apartment/home. 

Honestly, this book was confusing and I just don’t want to have to try so hard to understand what is going on. Just… WTF did I just read?

This is a short and twisted novel. We're kept in the dark along with her father and daughter who this paranoid main character is keeping captive in her apartment. The ending was brutal.
