  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I wanted to love this book based on the premise but it didn’t happen. The FMC is fat phobic, kills her dog, and spends an incredible amount of time obsessed with a murder that never happened. (The stream of consciousness is both interesting and frustrating.)

Similar to the other Moshfegh book I read recently, I finished mostly unsatisfied with the time spent reading.
