Ottessa Moshfegh is a brilliant writer — I truly enjoyed this book and the journey I went on. So immersive, it wasn’t until nearly the end of the novel that I realized we don’t learn the narrator’s name. The last sentence of the book was so great — I love how the growth of the narrator was so evident in one sentence.
