i read the books instagram keeps recommending to me and uh...

This was a very disorienting story and I think it was an interesting read, but there were some times where I just felt like it was repetitive, of course, because it was just our main character taking pills, falling asleep, waking up, being disoriented, taking more pills, going back to sleep, and it was just like this cycle.

The Bell Jar is to me a really interesting and fascinating book because it manages to mix in the story of this young girl who's called Esther and her descent into madness because of her mental illness while also exploring the limited roles that women had in 1950s American society.

I can remember so vividly some journal entries where Sylvia was struggling with her creative and personal path and how she struggled to find meaning in her life and how she struggled with depression and anxiety.

It really delves deep into some really hard-hitting topics, but I just like the writing and the way that Mr. Jeffrey decided to tell this story. It was done so well.
