this was a really interesting read, there were so many clues I could pick up about her psyche and why she was the way she was. her life is honestly so tragic having grown up with a psychotic mother and no love but she never fully realised that that's why the way she is, idolising whoopi goldberg and her crazy psych, she's a bitch and an awful person but she didn't deserve that childhood

3.0

the last chapter makes up for the rest which i don't even really remember. i don't think it was funny like it's marketed as and it isn't really absurd in an interesting way, kinda just odd & not very good at being odd. anyway i still enjoyed. it was a fun & easy read for me but not as deep or comedic as i thought it would be. i did enjoy some concepts related to the human experience that were somewhat explored. i also enjoyed the writing style & moshfeghs ability to portray the main character so well & show her inner monologue / thought process. additionally, i didn't really get bored at any point during this book which i think is impressive when you're writing about sleeping for a whole year which can be seen as a repetitive & boring concept. 3 stars from me ! ౨ৎ
