As a sleepy girl, the first half of this book was HARD to get through omg
I think Moshfegh is a great writer, it’s easy writing that still makes you feel smart for reading it. I feel like a lot of what was in this book was relatable in a sense — I definitely lived vicariously through our mc, but it just didn’t speak to me as much as I had hoped it would. But maybe that’s a good thing?
