A true-life Bell Jar. Interesting read, especially if you've had personal experience with mental illness (or even if you haven't). Similar to Girl, Interrupted, but in my opinion written in a more accessible and appealing way. Recommended!

Quite interesting to read about someone's addiction that isn't drugs and/or alcohol. Ends somewhat abruptly, but was a decent read.

(Well, must not have stuck with me that much; I read this a few weeks ago and nothing is popping up in my head that stood out.)

Less informative than I thought, but a great memoir. My heart breaks that mental health was ever treated this way.

This was hard for me to read. I have struggled with my weight my entire life but nothing like this. It depressed me and made me feel so sad for her.
