Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh is a masterclass in discomfort. 🤯 The novel is a claustrophobic dive into Eileen's mind, a character so raw and real it hurts. The parallels to Karl Ove Knausgård are uncanny, especially the devastating portrayal of a crumbling home. That Christmas dinner scene? A masterpiece of cringe. The tension is palpable as you wait for the other shoe to drop. Did anyone else think Rebecca was going to be a full-on psycho? 🔪 #Eileen #OttessaMoshfegh #bookreview #bookworm #reading #psychologicalthriller #cantlookaway
