This book is beautifully written, so many wonderful quotes. But it’s so hard to read because of how raw and vulnerable Plath is with this story and the character’s thought process

2.75

Gave 2.75 only for the excellent representation of mental illness because the book is very racist. Very disappointed in the racism displayed by the author.
