A review by candidlyneila
My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

3.75 ⭐️ rounded to 4! through a trippy and delusional state, you follow the deeply unlikable narrator desperately seek metamorphosis after a year of ebbing and flowing through states of consciousness. perhaps controversial, but i thought the ending of this book was superb. the way Moshfegh captured depression, the drugged up state of psychosis, and the melodic way of grief settling into your bones… to say Moshfegh is a talented author feels like an understatement. i strongly recommend this read for anyone interested in dark/reflective contemp lit that is easy to read.
