[REVIEW] My year of rest and relaxation

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let’s admit it — the main character is not likable at all. But she’s funny as hell.
This lady finds herself without job, in a very unhealthy relationship, and tired of living. But surprisingly enough, she doesn’t want to die. She just wants to sleep!
So she finds a bad shrink that loves psychotropics and takes a lot of notes but seems not to read them before the appointments — the doctor herself is hilariously incompetent.
So the story goes on during her full year under the effect of psychotropics and shows us glimpses of her (traumatizing) childhood and how she got to this point.
If you like a sarcastic character who is not afraid of pooping in an art gallery as a protest, this is for you LOL
