Unstructured, which I don't like. Various anecdotes, which I do like.

This girl was unjustly treated, and the author asks pertinent questions about the system.

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.

Love the movie and finally got around to reading the book that started it all. It’s a very quick read and easy to fall into. Susanna Kaysen’s writing voice is great and I really enjoyed this book even with its super dark underbelly. 
Don’t expect to get a play-by-play of the movie because the book is at the base the same, but really different once the base has been laid. 
Gotta go watch Girl, Interrupted now. 

Crying score: No, but I think I could have if I weren’t reading at work in public.
