I think the author did do a good job putting the reader in the place of the mc. Seriously felt disoriented reading this

At first it made me romanticize sleep, then made me wary of it. In the end it wasn't about sleep at all

The main character is hard to like, she's rude and distant, but in many ways painfully relatable. The book looks at depression and untreated trauma in a way that is honest and cruel. It balances sympathy with disdain all at once and its a challenging subject to read.

Well written, but the main character was so horribly unlikable that I hated it. All the most interesting parts of the book happen during her drug induced blackouts so we only get to see the MC insufferably speculating about where she might have been. I don't think this author is for me at all.

jvantland's review against another edition

‘“It’s because I’m fat.” She really wasn’t. She was very pretty, in fact.’

This came after just mentioning that the woman had an eating disorder! I will not be wasting the time to discover if this book redeems itself.
