A bit too much plot for me, and while the narrator lost her grip on reality, I never felt pulled there as a reader. Really didn't like the ending, ending with her being institutionalized felt like a cop out.

talk about lol. This is about a woman who wins the lottery and has an obsession with threes company. And then she also was in an attack situation at work. she lived with the bosses family for a while and they were all killed then she wins and the surviving sister is on drugs and not good. and then she moves away and its so funny. until she goes crazy. there is a hunter on the run who moves in with her and plays along with the games but then there are paparazzi and they come for her! and it goes poorly. She ends up in a mental institution and its sad.

Yeah, this ate. A deeply traumatized woman resisting being called traumatized, resisting admitting that she's hurting, until it literally burns her up. Huge hook for maladaptive daydreamers, people who care too much about sitcoms, and ladies with something wrong with them.

weird and sad and I understood every word of it
