I have a hard time reading books whose main characters I can’t relate to, and I simply couldn’t relate to the audacity and unbothered-ness of the main character as she ends up in increasingly anxiety-inducing situations LOL

The cheug became too much. I couldn’t go on 

I kept waiting for something to happen... and then it never did! 

I got about 250 pages into the book until I was struck by multiple warnings from acquaintances that the graphic nature of the novel would be deeply unsettling and destabilizing for anyone who struggles with mental illness and

suicide

. I decided to put it down until I'm mentally stable enough to handle the sadness that will surely accompany this novel, potentially for many years. It was not by any fault of the writing, simply because of the content.
