Very annoying/ frustrating main character Sophie where everything she does is irritating and it’s not just her, pretty much every character is quite unlikable.
There is an arc and you do grow to love them (a bit), but
they aren’t characters/a story that will stay with me but still an enjoyable read.

I for one really like it when the protagonist is weird not as in 'quirky' but 'seriously mentally ill'.

On the surface, this slice-of-life novel could remind you of Fleabag, in Fleabag's most mundane/less unhinged moments (like, breaking up with the boyfriend to get the house deep cleaned). But there's such little edge here. Sophie, the protagonist, is a truly tragic character, a child-like 30-year-old whose wins are so small that your heart sort of breaks for her.

When it's funny it's funny in a sad way, and when it's sad it's pretty tragic.
Which is to say that I really liked it, but it sort of deflates towards the end for me.
