This was absolutely weird from start to finish, but at the same time I couldn't stop wondering where it was going to go... none of the characters are likeable and the MC is one of those 'crazy girls' that we love to read about. No one here is perfect -- in fact, everything in the story is messy as hell. But I have to say, I just wanted more and more of the story. Perhaps it is just the Arizona monsoon weather that has me enjoying oddities that I normally would be harsher critiquing but this was, again, just one that I had to rush through.
It isn't perfect. But, no one going to therapy (or working for a therapist!) is perfect either.
