This book is really overrated on social media, but it’s still really good. The first half is honestly quite dry in my opinion, but the second half is really interesting. The way Esther develops relationships with all the characters was my favorite part, along with her neat viewings on the world. I also really liked how Plath separated scenes in a chapter.

This book holds an incredibly special place in my heart. If you’ve never read anything by Plath, make sure you read this book. So much of what Esther was going through, I either went through myself or watched others close to me experience something similar. To me, this book felt like a warm hug, we are not alone in this world and we are all more alike than we seem. It’s incredible to me that this book came out so long ago and bravo to Plath for shedding light on such a topic.
