I was immediately drawn in by the frantic, uproarious prose. Distinct, uninhibited voice. But the text mirrors the protaganist’s obsessive, cyclical thinking, which started to drag midway through the book. The protag ranges from unhinged to insightful. Sometimes she’s a nightmare; sometimes she’s so relatable. Very much a novel of ideas and of character.
