If you like literary fiction and desperately flawed, manipulative and damaged characters, this is the book for you. Abby has been living a 9 to 5 life working at a local grocery while her best childhood friend went off to Hollywood as a child actor. They reunite in a booze fueled frenzy during a high school reunion and a half hearted invitation to come visit is exchanged. I suspect Abby suffers from some serious impulsivity issues and possible some other undiagnosed mental illnesses. This deranged woman begins a marionette dance from there with her best friend, seemingly pulling invisible strings and dancing in and out of shadows, making things happen exactly as she needs them to. It's a dark look at mental health and substance abuse, codependency, and manipulation, as well as a deep dive into the development of a main character. It was a dark read, but a good one.
