Nor am I a big 'chick lit' fan. I rarely finish books, but I was looking for something to sink my teeth into after a long spell without anything decent to read (by 'decent' I mean nothing I cared about after 20 pages). Well, this book really hit the spot for me.Its a very easy read. Just crack it open and you'll be swept away. The book is written in first person perspective of the main character. I wouldn't say I liked her, nor did I especially dislike her. But I can empathize with her plight.The core concept that drives the plot is pretty provocative - go to sleep for a year and erase your trauma, wake up refreshed and ready to resume life as you were meant to live it, without baggage, without hangups, just living as yourself. Who wouldn't want that?But the way she goes about it, absolutely brilliant.If you can allow yourself to be led down on a journey without constantly pointing out, nitpicking and tearing apart each seemingly unrealistic proposition, you'll be rewarded with an experience that ultimately feels cathartic.I'll admit, there were times that I felt it droned on and on and ....But just speedread beyond that and keep going. The end comes before you know it, and it comes right when you're ready for it.Worth the read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars I'm Confused... In a good way *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023* This book is like groundhogs day with its repetition. The amount of pills the main character is taking.....wow! Is that even possible to survive?! I have a feeling as I digest this book more and more, I'm going to really grasp the meaning of it all. It was very Interesting in a weird way and kept me reading. I need time to process it all now to understand the deeper meaning and complexity of what it all means in the end. The ending was unexpected! Vert good book! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Would not re-read or recommend *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023* Would really give this 2.5 stars. Really nothing to write home about. This was seriously overhyped.The narrator drones on for 2/3 of the book about hating everyone and everything. I guess it’s good that she’s self aware that she has no real problems, but then I don’t understand why this is a book then. She has no redeeming qualities. It doesn’t seem like she even learned anything at the end. Exactly what she wanted at the beginning (and arguably did not deserve) is what she got at the end. I was mostly listening to the audiobook. Had I tried to only read this one without audio I don’t think I would’ve ever made it all the way through. I also don’t know why the author chose that ending. I mean obviously it’s predictable, I doubt she was expecting anyone to be shocked/surprised, but it just seems like such a random thing to make a scene about. It’s in no way related to the themes of the story. I’m sure someone thinks otherwise though. If I give it a lot of thought I guess it can be profound, and maybe in some twisted way it’s a good ending for Reva but, I think that’s weird.One thing I liked is that it was set in 2000. I liked how the scenery was portrayed, pop culture references, events, etc. I guess that was cool. It was also written pretty well. It’s just the actual plot was eh for me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/78723910-my-year-of-rest-and-relaxation-hardcover-july-10-2018](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/78723910-my-year-of-rest-and-relaxation-hardcover-july-10-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
