My Year of Rest and Relaxation

I initially really loved this and had given it a 5 star review. Then I read a comment about how this books screams privilege, decided to give it a 4 star. Then realized that's the point. There's an obvious “privilege” here and as a black girl who sees privilege and injustice in everything without wanting to, it was so obvious but didn't effect the way I read this. Regardless, this is good work.

I will never quite agree with people who say this isn't interesting though. When the plot wasn't, the language and thought process of the main character was. There was never a seemingly “dull” moment.
