The Woman in the Window

I almost feel like “abstaining” a star review of this book. So I'll be in the middle.So many books out there today with the recently-made-classic unreliable female narrator (who tends to be alcoholic too, I guess that contributes to the unreliable part). This one is truly better than most though (I'm looking at you [b:The Girl on the Train 22557272 The Girl on the Train Paula Hawkins https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1574805682l/22557272.SX50.jpg 41107568] or [b:The Woman in Cabin 10 28187230 The Woman in Cabin 10 Ruth Ware https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465878007l/28187230.SY75.jpg 48209164]). Our main character suffers from extreme alcoholism, agoraphobia, and a host of other problems stemming from these (anxiety, hallucinations, depression). The author did a nice job of immersing the reader into Anna Fox's head and all of her mental illnesses.The writer has some promise, but overall the story is lacking. It's rather typical, and pretty easy to guess. I did not “figure it out” before the end, but the path getting there was pretty predictable. And none of the characters except Anna is in any way fleshed out - but I suppose that's to be expected since the narrator herself comes into contact only briefly with just a few people throughout the whole novel.Not great, but not as bad as I expected.
