(review in progress while still reading book)

In 1964, 24-year-old Eileen Dunlop lives in a small coastal Massachusetts town with her emotionally abusive, alcoholic father and works a dead-end job in the office of a juvenile detention center.

Our narrator, a young, beautiful, and wealthy New Yorker, hates everything and everybody, so she decides to take a sort of gap year and just sleep. With the help of many, many different medications prescribed by an absolutely batty psychiatrist, she does just that.

It's absolutely true that you can enjoy a book with zero likable or relatable characters, especially if it's well-written and full of witty social commentary. It's just not for me right now.
