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.
