Reading Eileen felt like being on a seesaw: I was either bored out of my mind or completely hooked—no middle ground. It’s not my top pick for the “unhinged female narrator” genre, but it’s still an impressive deep dive into the psyche of a truly unlikeable narrator.

+1/2

Not much of a plot here but the writing was good and while I disliked Eileen at first she became sort of fascinating. TW for sexual abuse.
