“Try to sleep on your side when possible. There was recently a study in Australia that said that when you sleep on your back, you’re more likely to have nightmares about drowning. It’s not conclusive, of course, since they’re on the opposite side of the Earth. So actually, you might want to try sleeping on your stomach instead, and see what that does.”

There’s some pretty dark dry humour so far which I love to be honest. It feels like I’m reading the main characters diary. There’s no filter she says what she wants to say to the people in her life and in her writing – she is the narrator, as first person POV.

Reva would show up at my apartment with a bottle of wine from time to time and system keeping me company. Her mother was dying of cancer. That, among many other things, made me not want to see her.
