Despite that, she is incredibly relatable (a year is sleep sounds so nice) it was almost a comfort to read someone’s thoughts who had no filter. All the bad thoughts that would cause me to pause and retract, she would carry on with. Unashamedly. She makes no effort at being kind. Her depression was overwhelming and her grief all consuming and if we saw her at a different point in life, maybe she would be different.
Had there been real consequences for her behavior and actions and had her drug abuse been addressed in any manner at the end, this would probably have been a five star read.
Also, Reva deserved better

In conclusion I liked a lof of it, and I also didn't like some parts. Mostly because I wasn't prepared for how dark and sad the entire book was going to be. But I'm very curious to hear other people's interpretations of the book since I do think that there are a lot of interesting things to discuss about it. And I think Ottessa Moshfegh's writing was often beautiful and I enjoyed how she portrayed the early 2000's.
