I really enjoyed a lot of things about this book. I'm fascinated with Berlin and loved reading about the city. I appreciated the perspective on the female experience with dating, body image and mental health struggles.
But!

I don't know what to think about the ending. Is this a plausible thing for someone to do in a dissociative state? It was more or less set up all along for the main character to have done everything herself. I actually expected to find out that she WAS conscious of it and simply ommitted those parts of the narrative to gain sympathy from the reader as well as those around her. (Which I actually still think is possible, or that she's in denial). Or is this just yet another case of villanizing mental illness? I'd love other perspectives and input!
