when will i have my year of rest and relaxation?? god. i hate the narrator so much. i hated the fact that i related to her too much and i hated it that she was so mean to her supposedly best friend (to which i don’t relate at all). she’s so in her own head that you get bored at one point. but you just wait for her year to get over, in the hope that she’ll have some kind of development or start to loving life, but no, it just gets worse. after her year of rest is over, she starts to see beauty in everything but still, she’s unbearable as she starts to think she’s better than everyone else. whatever, i loved it. i hated it. and i just want my year of rest and relaxation. ALSO, WHO GAVE DR. TUTTLE HER LICENSE????
