I was really looking forward to this book. Recently I've seen a lot of spec-fic books by white women challenging the promises of "wellness culture" and I was interested what kind of take a non-white author would have on the topic. The whole time I was reading, I had a sense of unease; sometimes, it was because I wanted the MC to escape the horror, like I was supposed to feel. But more often, it was because I found the MC so unbearable, unrealistic - and the colorism! I kept waiting for her to have character growth, or honestly a full-on meltdown. As someone who has held beliefs in common with Jasmyn, I thought maybe I was being too defensive of my own experience / journey to understanding the value of rest and that as a white person, maybe my understanding of the MC's view was flawed in some way. But after reading a lot of reviews by Black readers - seeing references to The Nap Ministry and how miraculous it is Jasmyn never burns out - I think I had the right idea after all. This book would have resolved better if Jasmyn had learned something other than "Blackness = aesthetics + trauma". But please read those other reviews and don't take my word for it.
