This was such a strange experience but I enjoyed it. There wasn’t really a plot, and if I were to explain this book to someone I don’t know what I would say other than “a young woman (unnamed) decides she wants to sleep for a year and we get to observe it.” The ending was abrupt but I guess that is fine for a book with minimal plot.
