I am a bit unclear why the GR rating is so low - I guess it’s the ending…

I found the book utterly propulsive as I devoured it in under 24 hours on the beach in September…
A story of a beautiful, young, white woman who- much like a piece of furniture- no one seems to notice if she is there. Alex, our narrator, has an Anna Delvey quality but yet is able to imprint so lightly on the surface of the earth it’s almost as if she doesn’t exist at all…

“Maybe she was the ghost she had always imagined herself to be. Maybe it was a relief.”

an easy read but such a cop-out ending and made me feel increasingly gross as it went on
