I would maybe recommend stopping and picking it up a bit later. I also read this book when I was terribly depressed and going through almost the same life experiences that Esther was going through. Although it made me feel less alone…as if talking to a friend who understands exactly how you feel when you confide in them about some difficulties in life…it was kind of triggering.

I also chose the Audiobook (read by Maggie Gyllenhall) and I think her perfect execution of the detached Esther really struck a cord with me. It almost made me think that everything that she is feeling and everything that she did is okay given her situation and mental state. And this is not good if someone reading the book is really depressed…
