A review by kimmyp
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

4.5

I thought this was really good. I believe the story is set in the 1950’s, and it is of that time, but it also felt very modern and current. The way she described her mental state and her descent into a mental breakdown was really gripping. And also just her reflections on being a woman in society felt really universal. This is a classic that I’m really glad I got around to.
