If I ever get chronic insomnia I know exactly what to "read" to cure me of it.  I guess that makes this book kinda meta, huh. Too bad it was pointless drivel. And I thought The Haunting of Hill House was the most somnolent book I've ever read, but this one beats it by a long shot. A book I definitely should've dnf.

I think the author is good at writing, but I didn't care at all what happened to the main character. I'm still not sure if that was actually the author's intent though.

It was written well, but honestly, I just didn't enjoy it. To say the main character is unlikable is an understatement.
