Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh

Unfortunately I cannot say I enjoyed this at all. The main character Eileen frustrated and annoyed me, and I was not interested in what happened to her at all. I also do not believe a person can change so quickly from being so weak and miserable to becoming self-aware, strong, and in control within just a few days. She goes from being obedient to her father to flippantly laughing off his demands over the space of two or three days. I could not suspend my disbelief enough.
