i liked this i think? i enjoyed reading it and it only took me two days even though i usually can't get through slow paced books with little engaging plot lines. i liked eileen in the sense that it was interesting to see things from her point of view. obviously she is very flawed but some of her hangups were relatable to me. the ending got spoiled for me before reading but i do think you should know beforehand that the big stuff doesn't happen until the very end.
