My Year of Rest and Relaxation

1,5 stars.

Although this book sometimes does a good job at portraying the ugly sides of mental illness and has a great concept, the plot and characters were terrible. Found myself dreading to read this and could not in the slightest understand why most of the reviews printed on the book itself describe it with„funny“ „makes you laugh out loud“ or call Moshfegh a „merciless comedian“. I could not find a single funny line in the book. And if issueing mean comments about people with eating disorders is „funny“ I fail to see the humor in that. Terrible read.
