If I could give this book no stars then I would but that's not an option. The marketing for this book is entirely misleading especially the blurb that announces how vile and enthralling it is. I think my copy also has a blurb calling it a psychological thriller/ horror?
Pfft.
I slogged through this book. The writing wasn't spectacular enough to mask the gigantic hole there was from the complete and utter absence of a plot. I understand that Eileen is supposed to be an unlikable character. The whole book is supposed to be a character study of her. I honestly understand that. My problem is how repetitive it was. It went on and on about the same things over and over again.
About her leaving. About her father's drinking. About her "bestie" Rebecca being the only saving grace. Blah blah blah
I could not care enough. I'm upset that I spent so much energy waiting for the book to get good or even a little bit engaging. The ending fell so flat, I think it broke my heart for having had any expectations at all.
I do not understand the hype. I'm sure it was probably the marketing that misled me to believe this book was something that it clearly was not. But I can't in good faith recommend or gather the desire to indulge in the hype the author's books have garnered for now. Maybe someday I'll have the big brain energy to, for now my uneducated butt is gonna chill and read books for small brained homo sapiens.
