I loved this story. The way you begin to notice the similarities between the main character and Sylvia herself. Brilliant.

She ate that up. Quintessential sad girl novel that with humor and wit deftly takes the reader along on Esther’s descent.

I really didn’t take to the story during the first third because the character can be very unlikeable and the writing can be racist at times; however, the tellings of what mental health and asylums were like at the time were super powerful. I grew to appreciate this book so much more by the end.
