This book is so ... weird. I listened to the audiobook and found myself obsessed. I disliked the main character/protagonist fiercely; and yet I admired her. It was as if someone took all the worst thoughts and tendencies from a life and distilled them into the bulk of one person's daily interactions and perceptions. Yet enough tragedy has happened to the female narrator that I sometimes did feel a bit sorry for her. And then she turns back into her asshole self -- but a truthful asshole; she's really never delusional, is she? -- and I loathed her again.

It's basically worth reading just for her truly insane psychiatrist, the kind of person I would never go near because of my own sense of self-preservation ... something that's fun to abandon while reading the book.
