Would have been a 5 star read if it wasn't for the wild sexism and body shaming.
Reading this book is like falling asleep, as your thoughts become more and more confusing, but you feel like you can still keep up.
I would recommend this one to you if you have a deep feeling of meaninglessness that you can't shake off, no matter what you do (wouldn't exactly say this one helps with that but i felt understood for once.)

This book is not for the casual reader, I would recommend reading this book as a part of a book club or group so that you can have someone to discuss it with because the psychological themes can be highly confusing.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Abandonment, Confinement, and Death
