I found the MC so incredibly frustrating. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to throttle her or if I wanted to drive her to a therapist’s office immediately. Maybe both! Jane is obsessed with the “story” that she’s not enough, not loveable and even when there are opposing ideas that prove the story wrong she refuses to see it. I believe we are all a little like Jane, and maybe that’s why it was so hard to read. Ms. Monaghan did do a fantastic job getting us inside the MC’s overthinking often anxiety ridden thoughts. And I appreciate her writing for that.
