A very good idea and some beautiful scenes, but starts very slow, too slow.

I hope and pray that Eileen isn’t as freaking gross in the movie with Anne Hathaway as she was this entire book.

It’s dark, sure, but I don’t think she says anything people haven’t thought of already themselves. The dark and sometimes bizarre humor made me laugh. The recesses of Eileen’s mind were more surprising than the actual plot. I liked it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
