Compré este libro buscando representación de cierto trastorno y salí con el corazón en un puño y conmovida a más no poder. Ha sido una experiencia religiosa.

5.0
I would read it again, as uncomfortable as it made me at times - both because it was too close to home and too scary and foreign to think of slipping out of your own reality and into another. Not that it was a scary book. It wasn't. It was an interesting look at Kaysen's experience in the psych ward of the 60s and her character disorder, and I particularly liked that the narrator isn't particularly reliable - even though she still is, you don't have to wonder if she's making it all up, just some details that she questions throughout the book. She recognizes her unreliability and weaves it into the plot.
