The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
4.5
challenging dark funny reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was actually a very raw and real depiction of someone struggling with their mental health as it declines & their journey to getting “better”.
I loved how chaotic and funny it was. It had ver strong my year of rest and relaxation vibes. And most importantly some of the most potent proses. 
 
HOWEVER, main girl, Esther, was insanely rude, racist, misogynistic, fatphobic & high key egotistic.
