I could not figure out if this was one of the weirdest, most off the wall things I have ever read, or one of the best. I think it's absolutely both. I finished it in one evening and had to just sit and think for a bit, and repeatedly say "what the fuck?" when it was over. You know the mom at the end of requiem for a dream? It's those vibes, but three's company.
Based on the description, I was NOT prepared for what this book was. I thought it was going to be a relatable character who finds solace in TV and wins money and surrounds herself with it. That is the case, but it is not wholesome.
A completely real, convincing portrayal of a woman driven absolutely mad by trauma... And three's company being one of my favorite shows, which I just loosely remodeled my living room after, I will never see the show the same again. Or the copy of The Flapper I have hanging on my living room wall. I have a feeling I'll read this again someday.
