This started out funny and sarcastic, but then... I'm not really sure what happened. I feel like this book may have gaslighted me. I'm not sure what to think.
My strongest impression though was one of frustration, because there's no way a male character would have been written as Eleanor was.
It was a quick and compelling read - I finished it in a day.

CarolynM I think I would have found this even more disquieting if the protagonist had been male. But a lot of what happened was because she was female - there was some serious toxic masculinity on display from other characters. 5y
Sarz @CarolynM I think it's because of her gender that we're left questioning what happened. Because her crazy behaviour is potentially believable. If it was a male, there'd be no question - we'd assume brain cancer. 5y
CarolynM @Sarz But if she'd been male the other characters would have behaved differently toward her so her behaviour in response would have been different. I can't imagine a man being harassed the way she was. (edited) 5y
