We all take different impressions of the books we read. You are allowed to dislike it!
Some of the weird advertising refers to the book as hilarious. ????
No way, it's about a woman who is probably not neurotypical, dealing with an awful past trauma.
Her behavior is not so good, e.g., stalking the musician. I can still sympathize with her. I would say that the past trauma does not explain all, I think she was autistic.
At the end, she is healing, so that explains the title.

Reply to Research finds people who are married have a lower risk of developing dementia after the age of 70 than those who are unmarried or divorced. Previous studies suggest that being married later in life protects against dementia, and that being single in old age increases the risk of dementia by Wagamaga
My MIL seemed so much worse after FIL died. But part of that is that they covered for each other -- both of their memories were failing, but between the 2 of them, they could keep track of things better.
My grandmother did well for quite a long time after my grandfather died, but she was living with her son (my uncle). She taught me card games and trounced me regularly. When her health declined to the point where she needed to go into assisted living/nursing home, her mental state deteriorated quickly.
