Loved the writing, and the story was compelling to read, but the ending was incredibly unsatisfying and too open-ended.

A dark book following the spiraling descent of a young woman into further delusion and desperation. Little is shared about Alex or her past besides her experiences in sex work and manipulating and robbing johns, other sex workers, housemates and the closest she gets to friends. The book follows more lies and manipulation as she tries to survive a week bumming through an affluent community simultaneously running from and to hostile men. Some comments on class and mental health but ultimately not really my cup of tea. Fast read.
