Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

i really love the way ottessa moshfegh writes, and this was a super interesting story. none of the characters were likable, but that made it even better. she’s great at characterization and internal monologues. i will say there was some mildly offensive things in this book- but i truly don’t know if it was part of her “let’s make all these characters awful” strategy. i didn’t love the fatphobia and i’ve heard her other books have this same issue. i will also say the plot only ramped up at the end, but that’s fine by me. i enjoyed reading this and would read another one of books!
