Natalie is such an interesting character. She is so sad and lonely and is overlooked and beaten down by the how small her world it. As such, Natalie lives so much in her head. This is such an interior book, which I think can make it challenging. The POV shifts from a more omnipotent one to Natalie herself and maybe she is the omnipotent narrator in her own story...or she is just one character moving around. If you enjoyed Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh, I think that you will enjoy this book. It's quite tense, especially at the end.
