Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh

5.0

I love a book narrated by a self-loathing, unlikeable character. Eileen is a self-confessed "bad" person but I felt a lot of sympathy for her. The impending sense of doom, her obsessions, her fantasies, and her morbid thoughts reminded me of the characters in Patricia Highsmith's work. A flawless debut novel.
