A review by immabehazzie
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

5.0

I don’t know why I have never read anything by Sylvia Plath before. Her writing feels as though it was written for me. The Bell Jar is seems so real, so real it’s almost uncomfortable. I’m an avid reader and I’ve related to characters before but not like this before. The way she processes things and thinks about things is so similar to mine, it’s kind of scary.

I was surprised that this book allowed the character to have honest feelings against marriage and didn’t guilt her into wanting children. And I loved how they portrayed her slow spiral into depression.

Truth be told, I loved this book. And I think that if you enjoy this book you would also enjoy Girl; Interrupted.
