Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
3.5
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Honestly, I'm interested in seeing how this gets adapted to film because while I am usually a fan of slow-burns, this one felt a bit rushed at the end. However, I think this author did a great job with putting us in the shoes of our main character and created a world that was both eerie and recognizable (at least for those who grew up in small towns).
