Mysterious and dark just about sums it up. 

I wouldn't say Mona's flaws are a main focus here, however there is the side plot of her struggling to write a second novel as well as her "imposter syndrome" (if you can call it that). The main focus is Mona's tumbling through the event, and I think it is very well written. 
I look forward to reading the book again in Spanish.

Somehow I loved the ending so much. What a deliciously weird way to end the book, what an odd way to tie the story together–the ending almost makes me want to read it again sooner rather than later.

This book was pretty fucked up - some difficult subject matter but also quite funny and spooky. I would read it again.

decently paced, intriguing, and obviously a satirical jab at the contemporary literary society, but the ending was strange and disappointing.
