I devoured this book in two days. It was brilliantly written. Definitely could be triggering to some. I love Moshfegh’s writing and will definitely read some other work by her. 
It was almost a hypnotic read. I loved it.

A dive into the life of a troubled woman looking to hard-reset her life and outlook through medicated sleep. You watch her progress into full pill addiction and then turn herself back to her ultimate goal for self-preservation: sleep. Surprisingly hopeful ending and left me thoughtful on her journey.
