i LOVED this book. LOVED!!! and i cant even explain it like just the way it took me along for the ride and by the end i felt like i understood Eileen and rooted for her even though she’s this depraved delusional murderer and a completely unreliable narrator… she gaslighted gatekept and girlbossed me <3
