4.0

Had an urge to read it because there are just some books you don’t understand until you live through an experience. Glad I read it once I was diagnosed lol, felt very touched in some ways? Also enjoyed the ending, I thought it was a nice way to begin anew. 

I’m a little confused and wonder if there are themes/motifs/symbolisms I’m missing or if Moshfegh is just writing certain weird things just to write them.
