wholeheartedly recommending my year of rest and relaxation by ottessa moshfegh to my 43 year old father over zoom on a sunday night
#i finished it within three days..i waa hesistant to pick it up due to reviews of it online being anywhere between#this novel is horrifically contrived or just outright watering down the plot to just be the trials and tribulations of an ex it girl#sooo cockette#but no it was really excellent and disgustingly in depth at times i did a lot of self reflection while reading..the narrator is a deeply#complex and almost outright dislikable character who lives in the lap of luxury she is set for life she has people who do care for her and#her best friend is truly a saint#yet due to unresolved childhood trauma from a neglectful household and severe depression being drowned out by sedatives given by a quack#psych she just..rots. for a year. because she has the privilege and safety nets available to do so#a conventionally attractive young college grad who has it all yet is unable to shake her borderline suicidality and would rather waste away#idk i will never have the chance to live that way myself but i found parts of myself within her. her apathy. her self-loathing and confused#warmth and longing towards her parents#and having a psychiatrist that will perscribe you anything and Everything with little care
