Edith's Diary by Patricia Highsmith

3.0

Reading Highsmith when fragile or feeling down is like a bad trip. Well, what I imagine a bad trip would feel like. The book's probably great, but I was in the wrong mood when I read it and man, did it worsen things. It made me incredibly ill at ease and got me into a rare quarrel where I got quite hysterical, I'm embarrassed to say. I don't blame Highsmith. After years of reading her I should know this. Anyway, my point is I can't rate this accurately because just thinking about it makes me shudder, and it should be read by those more robust than me.
