The Bell Jar walked so that My Year of Rest and Relaxation could run…

Truly put this off for so long because I thought it was going to be so pretentious and the book everyone quotes, but rather found a timeless piece of writing on girlhood and mental health that was impossible to put down. With many r*cist terms to solidify the time period, I find it otherwise glorious.
