dark emotional funny informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

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.
