My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

kaiyoung_kop's review against another edition

5.0

I honestly think this book has brought me out of my depression. It’s hard to explain - one just has to read it to understand, but the profound emptiness in one’s soul is mirrored in the main character. This creates such a thought provoking, emotive piece which forces the reader to consider the value they place on their life

Very well done "poor little rich girl" story.

It was painful to be inside of the protagonists head. She's lived a life devoid of love or connection. She's bored and bitter. I hated her and felt sorry for her all at the same time.

Well worth the read, I still feel like my head is spinning.
