love me a book about a woman’s descent into madness! think the rating of this suffers as it’s marketed as a thriller but it’s solidly one of those books that has no specific genre

I appreciate how Sims puts us in the mind of a woman who's gradually becoming unhinged. I like the exercise of trying to figure out from the clues the narrator gives how a scene would look from other characters' perspectives. But being inside the head of that kind of narrator always leaves me with a vague sense that I have done something wrong, which is unpleasant until it fades. So, I like the book but I need a palate cleanser.
