marold's review against another edition

This book is pretty great. When I first started it, it felt sort of like a female Catcher in the Rye. Esther is a likeable character and a relatable teen in the beginning. Then her journey into a nervous breakdown begins. It is an interesting look into what was most likely Plath's battle with mental illness. I recommend the book. It is a quick, easy read and not nearly as dark as some others seem to describe it as being.
