    Review: My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

    protagonist, a privileged, pretty and rich young woman, tries to spend an entire year sleeping in an attempt to solve all her problems. To help that endeavour, she finds a psychiatrist who prescribes her all sorts of drugs without asking too many questions. What follows is the story of a year that feels like a strange fever dream, populated by characters that are both overdrawn caricatures and simultaneously like people you've met.
