Woah - I’d say stick with it. It’s worth it. At times I was annoyed by all the narrative exposition. The inner life of the main character was interesting, but not soooo much that I needed that level Of detail. But it pays off in the end.  

I’d recommend “Mostly Dead Things” as a good first read by this author. Her books were recommended to me on a list of “Weird” books - with other titles like Big Swiss, Night Bitch. If you liked those, you may like this one.
