3.5

I read this book out of curiosity and wanted to see what the hype was about. However, I am left feeling a little underwhelmed. While I enjoyed the book It was slow moving and took a long while for me to get into it. Then just as I got into it, it was finished.

The fact that it is based on Plaths  personal experience of life with mental illness is moving and thought provoking… although I am only rating it 3.5 ⭐️ I believe everyone should take the time to give this book a read
