The movie was already one of my all time favourites so I knew I'd love the book, and it definitely was even better than the adaptation. I loved the fact the chapters were really short because I prefer them. This was an instant 5/5 and a new favourite of mine. Some of the stories and the quotes from this book will forever be with me. Even though I don't have any diagnosis of mental illness, I felt really close to Susanna: I think that is because this is also the story of a teenage girl who feels disconnected from the world she lives in, which is something I have experienced and still experience, like many other young women.

Susanna Kaysen gives a raw viewpoint into navigating psychiatry with mental illness. Her stories are not to be taken lightly, but reflected on and empathized with. These stories are more common than we know and need to be shared; they will change the way we think about mental health.
