My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

“I was finally doing something that really mattered. Sleep felt productive. Something was getting sorted out. I knew in my heart - this was, perhaps, the only thing my heart knew back then - that when I’d slept enough, I’d be okay.”

This book follows the life of an unnamed Columbia graduate, who decides to commit to a year of rest and relaxation. Both of her parents have passed away and she’s been left with a significant inheritance. She finds a doctor who prescribes her with a multitude of prescription drugs, and she sleeps her life away for one year!

I don’t know what exactly it is that made me love this book so much, but I did!! I bought it upon the recommendation of Haley
