My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
1.0
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I am learning that I really don't enjoy reading books about unlikable people. The protagonist lacked depth and failed to have any redeeming qualities, which made me wonder why I was bothering to explore her inner world. It felt like the majority of the secondary characters were unrealistic. There just wasn't much here for me to grip onto, or believe in.
