My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

 

when i first found and bought this book, i have no idea who is the author and how funny this book is. well, it is not silly-funny but more to dark funny. i think you need to be someone who able to appreciate contemporary lit with funny as a side-dish. however, behind the funny side of this story, right at the end of it - as you left with just a few pages -  you have come to realize that actually the story has a touch of sadness behind the uniqueness of the characters.


what i really love about this book is the main character attempt to fall asleep so that she could wake-up with a new breathe of life. in order to fall asleep, she has to lie her way just to obtain bottles of sleeping pills. and this book centered with the use of fake drug Infermiterol. 

Basically this is just one of those chill pill. But this fake chill pill will make the user to lost herself for 3 days with no exact recollection of what happen to her in those 3 days.

Wow...i want one! if such a pill exist and being asleep could wash away our misery, I'm in!!


Go grab yours today.

Great book for someone like me!
