Em Nova Iorque, uma jovem bonita e rica de vinte e poucos anos decide hibernar durante um ano com a ajuda de vários sedativos. É só isto. Não há aqui muito para elaborar, é tudo superficial -- se calhar de propósito. Lembrou-me um pouco os livros do Bret Easton Ellis (o autor do Psicopata Americano).

A minhas estrelas vão todas para a Drª Tuttle, a psiquiatra louca que me fez rir bastante.

It is only through dying that you are reborn - lots to decipher and lots to let go of in this book. Ofc,the girl is white and privileged so there’s that; grief is universal though and it touches a lot upon that besides other themes.

An interesting premise with no payoff. You spend the whole book hearing the monotony of The MC's routine as she tries to stay asleep. The MC remains just as horrible as she was at the beginning.
