My Year of Rest and Relaxation

original rating: 4.25 ⭐
Recently I was craving Moshfegh's writing, especially after I read Eileen a few months ago, and absolutely devoured it. So I decided to reread My Year of Rest and Relaxation!
I loved it even more than the first time. This novel is about a pretty young woman who wants to take a year of rest. And she will sleep for that year by taking heavy sleeping drugs. Ottessa's masterpiece is a slice of life, low plot story of a girl on her journey to “self-care”. Moshfegh's writing is hypnotic and beautiful. She makes me cackle reading this unnamed character's expedition. Another 5 Star read from this author!
