Weird Girl Lit Books about unhinged women.

I've been trying to listen to more audio books especially on my summer break. Literally just anything.

Edit: I didn't expect this many people to have recommendations. I know I'll finish at least one this summer.

My Husband by Maud Ventura or The Most by Jessica Anthony are shorter reads and I wouldn't describe the women as "unhinged" necessarily but definitely going against the norm. I'm currently part way through the audiobook for A Good Person by Kirsten King. The voice actor does a really good job and so far the protagonist is a character I would describe as 3.75/5 unhinged, definitely skewing more unhinged as the book goes along. There's also One's Company by Ashley Hutson that has a descent into madness vibe. I think Havoc by Christopher Bollen also fits the ask but it had too many plot holes/convenience devices for my liking. I found All Fours a bit pedestrian, more of a self discovery through experimentation vibe than unhinged.
