This book was so complicated in way that you knew throughout the whole book that it was meant to be like that.
Miss Sylvia Plath has some skills because while reading this book i literally felt like i was losing my mind just like Esther was.
This book is such an educational book because not only did it teach me more about mental health but it also helped me see what life was like back 1950s particularly for people with mental health issues and how frowned upon they were.
I think this book is a must read for everyone!
