Much like Mieko Kawakami's Heaven, Rest and Be Thankful is an excellent book that put me in a real life depressive funk. I loved it, I hated it, I wouldn't recommend it unless you like books that make you miserable.

This is how I live now. Navigating your stuff, careful not to knock things down, careful not to leave marks. Your hairs stick to my bare feet, there is dust in the corners of the room. This is how I live now, in this domestic disgust.
