Explanation. I’m looking for a book focusing on a woman who has something wrong with her mentally. I’m not talking about a specific mental illness but that underlying feeling that something is broken and wrong. Something like no longer human but with a woman instead of a man. I’m not looking for healing stories or happy endings. I’m not looking for romance or uplifting stuff either.

*My Year of Rest and Relaxation* is one, the protag isn’t even likable to many people.
*You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine* is another more focused on paranoia.
Anything Gillian Flynn.
*We Need to Talk About Kevin* by Lionel Shriver.
*We Have Always Lived in the Castle* by Shirley Jackson.
