This is now my gold standard for "disaster woman" books. So many bad decisions are made and I was on board for all of them. The descriptions of the house are incredible and I could write an essay on its symbolism. I laughed so hard so many times at things I would be embarrassed to describe because they wouldn't be funny at all out of context. 
I hate when books are described through other books, but this felt like the fucked up Aunt of Milk Fed and My Year of Rest and Relaxation. 
Highly recommend if you liked either! Please check the CWs though
