Love the movie and finally got around to reading the book that started it all. It’s a very quick read and easy to fall into. Susanna Kaysen’s writing voice is great and I really enjoyed this book even with its super dark underbelly.
Don’t expect to get a play-by-play of the movie because the book is at the base the same, but really different once the base has been laid.
Gotta go watch Girl, Interrupted now.
Crying score: No, but I think I could have if I weren’t reading at work in public.
