I am sooo upset. This book is so depressing at points where I want to put it down but curiousity plagues me and alas; I persist.

This protagonist is unlikable. And we're not given enough of her thoughts in-depth to learn where she is coming from. I know to an extent why she does what she does, but I don't "Feel" it. It isn't convincing me enough to understand, not even from a "I disagree but understand" viewpoint.

The story does a good deal of dig and retreat. We'll explore something but I still feel a sense of omission, but it's coming from the narrator's part, I feel? She sems to serve as this blank slate who doesn't have too many emotional reactions that we see. An event happens and we see the external reaction but not the depth of the internalized feelings. I think that's what I mean by skimming.
