Yet, it was such a “fun” read. The novel gives great insight into the mind of a troubled and depressed person. But I was sometimes worried that this novel glamorized mental illnesses (as if being depressed was equal to being edgy).

Moshfegh perfectly captures the desire to just step into a new life. The deep self-loathing that makes a person desperate to wake up as a new person.
The desperation of addiction is also written perfectly.

The writing style wasn't bad. it did keep me going. but the narrator was just an unbearable person to me. mentioning on literally every page how thin and pretty she is, being mean to literally everyone and having the book become just a single narration of pill names ? the only time i started finding her okay was when she started sleepwalking and apparently being a decent person during the forgotten time periods but dude....... also
