I really enjoyed it. Preferred the second half. Definitely a very clever book, but I think I was a bit too dumb to understand some of it. I reckon I will at some point though.

It’s a dated book so keep that in mind. There will be things said about race and sexuality that are wildly inappropriate. Anyways, I related deeply to this character and reading this at times felt like I was reading my future, which was scary and left me with many questions. I wish Plath was still alive because I need them answered
