Very interesting book. A wild ride indeed. And as a person who has issues with my sleep, her descriptions of sleepiness and just wanting to enjoy her sleep felt very accurate and I could definitely empathize. I mean who doesn’t wish the world could just pause for a while so you can get yourself together.
