My Year of Rest and Relaxation

 By Ottessa Moshfegh

Most of the book I was thinking how weird it is, how horrible that person is, and how it's really just WEIRD. Basically, it's about a woman who decided to take a break and just sleep for a year, using a variety of prescription drugs she gets from a kooky psychiatrist. It starts in mid 2000, and supposed to last a year, and there are mentions of the Twin Towers throughout the book, so it's pretty much clear that 9/11 would come into play. Still, reading the last page made me cry. [289 pp.]
