this was a really interesting read, there were so many clues I could pick up about her psyche and why she was the way she was. her life is honestly so tragic having grown up with a psychotic mother and no love but she never fully realised that that's why the way she is, idolising whoopi goldberg and her crazy psych, she's a bitch and an awful person but she didn't deserve that childhood
