This was the strangest book I have ever read and I'm not quite sure how to rate it. Moshfegh's story is bleak and I never knew where she was going to take it next. Moreover, Lapvona was so distinct in my mind which is a testamony of Moshfegh's craftmanship of the novel. That said, I'm not sure I would recommend this book to a friend.
