dark funny mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Moshfegh at it again with her filth; in the form of a bisexual woman from the 60s raised by her narcissistic alcoholic father. Good. Would own it.
