What a weird book. It's mostly about depression, but then also sneakily about 9/11. Yeah, weird.
The idea of sleeping a year away is appealing to everyone, right? Anyway, this book explored that concept and what it might actually look like (if you are a pretty, privileged, white girl). Definitely depressing but also strangely relatable.
