I found this book intriguing from the beginning, and that is part of why I picked it up (not going to lie, the other part was how small it was, reading long books is hard these days!) but it lost it's intrigue through the readtime. I think the intention from the author was to not waste time on explanations, but it eventually got old and I wanted to understand more of why the main character was so INSANE?! she was crazy!! and she kept doing awful things to people that cared about her. I never felt like she learned her lesson, and she was borderline sociopathic in her behaviors. 
Sometimes I love a book where very little happens and it's a slice of life, a peek into someone's everyday craziness. this is not one of those times
