My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

The main character is an absolutely self-centered, unlikeable person, but something about this novel was so hypnotic. I understand how this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but personally I enjoyed reading the drug-hazed musing of an absolutely miserable and cruel person. I will concede that the execution was not what I expected, but something about this book was so mesmerizing that I devoured it in less than 24 hours.
