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.

3.75

this was exactly what i needed right now. i really loved this book! it’s such a solid piece of self-exploration with honest anecdotes to keep you turning pages. i felt understood in some sections, and yet felt completely out of my depth and as if i was learning something new and important in others. the writing is easy to read and introspective throughout. i highly recommend this if you are in the mood for something short and beautifully told. it’s not perfect, but it was a great reading experience.
