The author is good at writing depression, but there’s no reason for me to pity the narrator. She’s just a huge asshole who looks down on everyone else. Depressed or not, she’s insufferable.

The story feels like it’s running in circles.

It’s hard to deal with the narrator’s underlying tone of thinking she’s smarter and better than everyone, though I suppose depression isn’t all being sad and angsty. If she was full of herself before this slump, I don’t think things would change now.
