She’s just like me for real (depressed and sleepy all the time). Honestly, it’s impressive writing to keep me reading 300 pages about a woman who takes too many sleeping pills. I’m still not sure what to take away from this book, but it’s definitely given me a new-found cynicism with material fascinations?
