Trapped between caring for her alcoholic father and her job as a secretary at the boys' prison, Eileen Dunlop dreams of escaping to the big city.
In the meantime, her nights and weekends are filled with shoplifting and cleaning up her increasingly deranged father's messes.
When the beautiful, charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted, unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship. But soon, Eileen's affection for Rebecca pull her into a crime that far surpasses even her own wild imagination.

From the twisted mind of Ottessa Moshfegh comes another certified CLASSIC.
Really liked the last third of the book, but the first two thirds dragged enough that I almost DNF'd.
i totally forgot to mark that i was reading this since i started reading it at the airport but wtvr lmao
ottessa moshfegh has a penchant for the strange and it has yet to fail to entertain me
