Elizabeth is tired. Years after coming to New York to try to build a life, she has found herself with two kids, a husband, two jobs, a PhD―and now they’re filing for bankruptcy. As she tries to balance her dream and the impossibility of striving toward it while her work and home lives feel poised to fall apart, she wakes at ungodly hours to run miles by the icy river, struggling to quiet her thoughts.
From the description of this novel, I thought it would deal with the struggles a woman faces due to economic situations. As expected this woman was clearly depressed. Yet she despite all her circumstances (and her supposeded intelligence), she continued to make things worse, making one poor decisions after another.
