The main negatives of this book surround the plot details that are clearly only used for shock value — the book could've done without it. Those incidents simply feel like a self-serving outlet for the author, as opposed to being effective tools to build this narrative.

None of the characters in this book are supposed to be loved. This book is a hyperbolic satire on Americas self proclaimed high society.

Mentally ill woman does things!!! Slay for her. She is actually so insane and psychotic so is her "Doctor" and also Reva. The way that I kind of knew the ending, the minute the twin towers and the year 2001 was mentioned, I knew what was going to happen.

This book pointless. There’s no universe where I would read this book again, it was so repetitive I found myself just saying blah blah blah to fill in for certain paragraphs. If you’re still considering reading the book let me give you a recap: rich girl hates her parents they died, she wants to sleep for a year so she goes to the absolute worst psychiatrist in all of New York City, she bullies her friend for being Jewish & bulimic. Then said friend died in 911 which was an ending I saw coming within the first hundred pages. Writing was OK.

This was a good book and i really enjoyed it. It is about a very privileged women who is also very depressed. She wants to escape life and abuses prescription sleeping medication so that she sleeps an entire year. It was very well written. It took me about a week to finish but keep in mind that I did have exams to that’s why it took me so long.
