My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

dark sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I found the narrator very relatable for many reasons, one of which being the fact that I considered doing the same thing in middle school to pass time. she's so me but like I also hate her? Reva deserved better. I also liked how absurd it was!! So inappropriate but like in the best ways possible.

also when Reva said she was promoted to work in the Towers my heart sank but the goddamn foreshadowing with the kid jumping out of the school???
