i was definitely locked in to this book and i think as someone who has faced the horrors of depression, the desire to sleep forever was probably more approachable for me than for others. there are a couple bows left untied:
why didn’t we get to hear more about the artwork
why did the ending feel so rushed
. that being said, i enjoyed the read and was another good book to pull me back into my love of reading

I struggled to rate this. A great book with a terrible protagonist. I hated almost every single thing she said and thought and did but I also couldn’t stop reading. Leans on shock value a bit much at times.

Wow. 
It’s not what I was expecting. But I really enjoyed it as much as you can a book like this. Different than anything I’ve ever read. 


Side note: Julia Whalen really can narrate anything. She can make even the most ridiculous and disgusting sentences sound good. I don’t know if I would have made it through a print version.
