I'm numb. 

I love how real and multifaceted the characters and relationships were, and the blunt rudeness and unfeeling nature of the protagonist. 

There isn't a lot of plot in this book, it is essentially a character study. The protagonist was so removed from reality, so messy in her relationships with others, so unlike someone I could imagine meeting and yet I saw so much of herself in me that this book was oddly comforting. I like the softness of the ending, and Ottessa Moshfegh's writing.

The ending left a buzzing sound in the back of my head. It shocked me, yet it was oddly hopeful. 

This book is either the best thing or the worst thing to read during a depressive episode. I know it comforted me, and I am grateful for it. 

one of my favourite parts was when she shat in the art gallery. That scene now lives as a screenshot in my phone AMEN.
