I love short stories about loser queer women making bad decisions about their lives and being delusional.

I wouldn't think this is the kind of book I would enjoy and yet I did. Maybe because there's this constant theme of "feeling lost" that is something that I can relate so much to.
The mc is unlikeable and i feel like you're supposed to judge her for her actions (which are terrible and keep spiraling). For some reason, I didn't. I felt almost empathy towards her. She has gotten herself into a life that doesn't feel like her own, it feels mostly that she can't quite tell how she got in it the first place. And after that, it's all just sort of a fever dream where she's just acting on impulse and letting her intrusive thoughts take hold.
And so despite all the bad bad stuff she did, there's a small part of me that can't stop thinking "good for her" and that's is thankful I got to go with her on this crazy ride.
