This is one of my favorite books.
I understand some calling it boring, unrealistic, or describing it as just a “list of things”. However, coming away from this book, you have to realize for about 80% of this it is set in a single apartment with one regular visitor who the narrator hates. And even then, it is full of strange situations, darker humor, and while you hate the main character you can find her entertaining.
The drug that is used at the end to put her into the three day “sleep” is fictional. And, the “list of things” is a review I found to be completely untrue when I was reading it.
In short, it is most defiantly a darker book, about a young women with everything—Great education, surplus of money ect.—so overwhelmed with the world that she thinks that a year long hibernation is called for.
My favorite part out of this beautifully written book is when Reva takes her pills and she goes to her house to find them. Reva yells that she is doing this for her own good and locks her in the bathroom.
It’s all quite entertaining and is most definitely recommend by me!!!
