I think picture exists earlier than that though since its dated as just 2010 but it can be found on google in the early 2000s. I think this is the recreation of that picture.

It might be a Photoshop of it by the same person.

I guess so, there are some subtle differences like the burning stains on the oven and the height difference between the oven and the counter. I think all the sites from before 2010 that have it are bogus though + the artists lists the info of the camera used for the picture and that she used photoshop. I guess it really is by the artist

Yeah, everything excluding the floor moulding and tiles are the same. Every difference has to be a shop or a different lens/angle

Shitposting aside, most people who I speak to call it one of their favourite novels and I've never understood why. I could probably list off a load of reasons over many posts, but it would all boil down to one point: I just didn't find it relatable. That's just a subjective thing I guess.
I've battled with depression for many years, been on different medications, been to psychiatrists, etc. Yet I have never been able to relate to the main character, I would go so far as to say I find her detestable. She starts the novel as a beautiful young model with her whole career ahead of her, she has everything provided, she's well liked by pretty much everyone at the hotel. Yet her only problem is she's an unironic 'tfw to intelligent' type. She's a Mary Sue right down to being a self insert of the author.

I got that her problem was that she couldn't enjoy the things that everyone else could. Its nothing to do with being too smart or to good for people, I took that those things even made her feel worse about herself. Even if you can't relate its still learning about someone else's experience.

A hole, yes. I seem to remember thinking that the hole would be larger than his neck since his whole head would have to go in, so somehow the space would have to be plugged, but then I also remember thinking that it was just an ironic device symbolizing brain melting depression and let it go.

Esther is like a classic example of a character which exists to undermine itself. This is a subtle literary trick that you are likely to miss if you are too reactionary. Esther makes a lot of sense, and she is one of the most realized characters I know simply because of her outward actions and interior emotions work in ways that express so much about her and the book's themes.
