Drunkenness lazily masquerading as stream of consciousness. Pretty much just an alcoholic woman who blacks out badly a couple of times and it becomes a thriller novel. Gave me the ick to read, so I guess it gets points for that bc that's what it wants you to feel, but a poorly-written bad weekend out drinking alone doesn't constitute a good story IMO
