I don’t often give out 5 star reviews, but this book is certainly one that deserves it. This memoir will resonate with anyone who’s been in treatment. If you know, you know. 🌻💛

The movie was already one of my all time favourites so I knew I'd love the book, and it definitely was even better than the adaptation. I loved the fact the chapters were really short because I prefer them. This was an instant 5/5 and a new favourite of mine. Some of the stories and the quotes from this book will forever be with me. Even though I don't have any diagnosis of mental illness, I felt really close to Susanna: I think that is because this is also the story of a teenage girl who feels disconnected from the world she lives in, which is something I have experienced and still experience, like many other young women.

Susanna Kaysen gives a raw viewpoint into navigating psychiatry with mental illness. Her stories are not to be taken lightly, but reflected on and empathized with. These stories are more common than we know and need to be shared; they will change the way we think about mental health.

this was exactly what i needed right now. i really loved this book! it’s such a solid piece of self-exploration with honest anecdotes to keep you turning pages. i felt understood in some sections, and yet felt completely out of my depth and as if i was learning something new and important in others. the writing is easy to read and introspective throughout. i highly recommend this if you are in the mood for something short and beautifully told. it’s not perfect, but it was a great reading experience.
