Honestly, this was one of those books people hype, and it is just simply not that girl. Nothing about this book lived up to my standards. I felt like I had been gaslit into thinking the premise was groundbreaking, and then the cold, harsh reality of the fact that a woman sleeping for a whole year straight is, in fact, boring.
