annietaber 's review for:

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
3.0
challenging dark emotional funny hopeful reflective sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not to sound too depressed myself, but this book isn’t THAT depressing. Mostly I was just thinking about poor Sylvia Plath and how we had the same thoughts: bell jars descending and fig branches escaping us.
Beware, the electroshock therapy bits upset me
