My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

dark funny slow-paced

At the time I read this, I strongly needed a distraction to get a break from a rather hard book. A great distraction it is! I've decided that I love Otessa Moshfegh's writing from Eileen and this. 

Her characters are the only ones that I can tolerate in a 300-ish pages read. They're vapid, annoying, selfish, gross and many other humanistic characters that I've never seen showed much in books I read before. That's why I treasure these writings so much.

I must agree that the ending is a bit sudden. I expect more but I want it to end too so I guess, in the end, I don't really mind how it ends. All in all, fun and very memorable read!
