I think I liked it. It was a really interesting look into the thoughts and life of a woman with a really
complicated outlook on life. I loved the writing, it was compelling, interesting and fast to read. Moshfegh created such real characters with emotional depth.
Almost entirely character driven as not much happens in her rest and relaxation. Even though the protagonist was unrelatable I still felt
inclined to want the best for her. But I definitely understand the people who say this book is almost insufferable, I think I walked the line between like and hate.
