This book is called "funny" by many reviewers, hence the tag, however with a deeper insight it is a look into the life of a deeply troubled and different person. It touches on the subject of the expectations of women, and toes the line between the story of a not-so-average woman and an existential crisis. Strongly recommend :)
Moderate: Misogyny and Mental illness
Minor: Violence
