It was definitely interesting, though it's hard to say whether it was worth reading or not.  The main character incredibly unlikeable, and while I can sympathize with her to an extent, we're not given much reason to root for her.  Her plan is to take drugs and sleep for a year straight, and at the end, it comes across like we're supposed to think she's on the path to healing - but it's just not believable.  As a whole, it felt kind of underwhelming and was hard to invest in.

how can a book be so confusing and make so much sense at the same time?
