This one was interesting. It was mostly a stream of semi-consciousness from the main character, I feel like mental illness was portrayed well but maybe a little glamorized at the same time, but it felt like it fit well with the personality of the characters. Overall, I enjoyed this one!

Woah. Didn’t think I could dislike a character more! This story follows our grieving and depressed narrator as she embarks on a really unhealthy journey of sleeping for an entire year. The idea is that this rest will allow her to disappear completely and emerge as a new and improved person. Explores themes of death and addiction.
