Main character is unlikeable but it does highlight the worst aspects a lot of women feel about themselves and other women. All the other characters are unlikeable and it works.

I loved the writing and the challenge of reading from the perspective of a unreliable, not always likeable narrator, who is surrounded by equally or even more unlikeable characters. The end felt a little off to me, and lost me a bit. Almost like reading a different book but maybe that was the intent.
