This is an awful story about a pathetic woman.  I don't mean that the writing is awful; I just mean that the story being told is awful.

There is nothing to like about the central character; she does nothing to deal with the awful situation she is in, and the story about what happens to her is simply unpleasant.  The author has created a deeply unpleasant story with a central character who will make you scream (albeit perhaps only inside your head) "stop being so stupid and do something to get out of this, you pathetic woman!".  You do not want to read it.

Even when she decides to try to do something about her situation, she is pathetic.  She doesn't think ahead, she doesn't learn from previous attempts, and she makes stupid choices which end badly.  There is nothing to like about this woman and the way she fails to do anything sensible to escape from her situation.

She's the kind of person who would steal her own car and then set fire to it before realising that she forgot to renew the insurance.

She finally does make a plausible effort, but has left it so late that she now endangers someone else as well, which is simply just another reminder to the reader that she doesn't think ahead (she was well aware of the impending danger to this other person, months in advance, but did nothing until it was too late to avoid involving them) and doesn't learn from the time since her life was normal.

There's no way I can suggest that anyone should read this.
