Disappointing ending

I listened to the free short prequel and loved the writting style, narration and story. I purchased this and found it interesting then frustrating in regards to the main character, yes I may have wanted my story to have a typical ebb and flow and progression about it but I started to think she was mentally ill and that would be the hook, i listened to see if it was ever going to improve, then bam it ended in a really silly manner, after looking forward to it i was very disappointed.
