This book follows an unnamed mc who sudders from depression and drugs herself to sleep for an entire year. 
As someone who has depression, I thought it was a weird description to say that she did this to herself.
Tho, this just might see how she sees this and others might relate instead of me. 
I did enjoy this book and I read this pretty fast.
It's just not something I'd rave about to other people and that's why my rating is the way it is.
I do like the writing style and that we don't get a named mc, so we might understand her better.
I'd definitely recommend this book, but do check the trigger warnings as there's quite alot.
