It’s depressing, it’s confusing, it’s all about a woman’s sudden yet not unexpected yearn for the abyss. I found the main character’s view of herself and the world around her to be interesting. Everyone is vain and so is the main character. Everyone is not who they say they are and everyone wants to claw out of nothing and gain something. I found it poetic in this sense.

Sometimes it was crass and I don’t understand the ending all too much. It was an experience to read and I related to the main character on several notes.

Don't read if you're in a "low" head space, or questioning your existence. Not the kind of catharsis you'd need.
