But she continues to berate her and to be toxic. So I was expecting a lot more character growth to be going on between the two of them and their friendship. The narrator fully knows her best friend’s insecurities and talks about them openly. Then we have her best friend, who is the secondary character of this story, and she’s dealing with depression that arises from comparing herself to other people. Also, she’s trying to deal with the pain of losing her parents. Her parents are dead, so she’s coming to terms with that and realizing many things about her parents after the fact. We have the people who deal with loss, which the narrator faces. When the year is over, she’s supposed to have this aha moment, and her life will change forever. In order to deal with her mental illness, she chooses to take a whole bunch of prescription drugs and sleep for a year. This book has been pitched about a girl with mental illness. My Year Of Rest And Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh is American literature representing two life stories dealing with mental health.
