It deals with depression in a very shallow way if you ask me. The protagonist, obviously depresed and traumatised (I'll go as far as to say abused), decides to spend a year asleep (by using all kinds of prescription pills) in order to restart her mind and get over her mental issues. And behold, what a miracle! The end was completely bonkers, as everything else and don't get me started on the psychiatrist...

the writing style of this book is so hypnotic. every time i emerged from a reading session i felt disoriented, like i was waking up from a too-long, sweaty afternoon nap. i felt a little bit how i imagine the narrator felt in her waking hours. a lot of people describe the pace of this book as slow, and i guess that’s fair, but i flew through this. the combination of short, clipped sentences and excessive run-on sentences just pulled me along for the ride.
if you’ve ever felt like sleeping for a year would fix you but are currently in a better, more healed place, i highly recommend this.
