This book gave me an insight on myself but from a more extreme point (the point I nearly lead myself into). So this book even tho it was really sad and depressing, made me actually meet myself.

i mean, it’s the bell jar. it makes me so sad knowing how autobiographical this was for her. i love the perspective, it’s morbidly funny at times, too. i listened, and maggie gyllenhaal read this very well. sylvia plath you will always be Her
