A review by caitlinmxrris
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

this was the first book i read for my dissertation, though i did want to read it even before. i found it really interesting, with a raw exploration of mental illness and societal expectations. the final third of the book delves into especially dark themes, which made it emotionally intense to read. despite that, it’s still a very powerful and thought provoking book.
