My Year of Rest and Relaxation

 Fiction by Ottessa Moshfegh


This novel was in a list of books recommended to me as funny. It was not at all funny. 

Literally the plot involves a girl who decides to sleep for an entire year, because she's so depressed. She finds a mildly unethical psychiatrist to prescribe a wide array of drugs to knock her unconscious and help her stay that way as long as possible. I'm mystified by what is meant to be amusing about this.

I did read the whole book in hopes that it would get better....
