THANK YOU for this and I 100% agree--I think the "unhinged female protag" label people keep throwing this book under minimizes it in such a huge way. The narrator is a fully formed and complex character, with consistent motivations, desires, and choices that, while at times shocking, make sense for her. She's not Manic Pixie Girlboss, she's not an outlier, she's just a woman!!!! Having feelings!!!! Going through something!!!! Didn't even realize I felt this way until I read your last few paragraphs LOL
This book changed me.
