The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
reflective
medium-paced
2.5
This is giving Girl, Interrupted but during the 60's.
A coming-of-age story of a white girl named Esther is how i can describe this book. This book tackled depression and mental illness which I think were born out of the failure to meet societal expectations of the times. This also contains all sorts of sexism and misogyny from the men she encountered.
Also, Esther was racist. The gasp I gave nakakaloka. She was also violent, petty, and an annoying character. To think that was like a reflection of Plath's mind, I'm disappointed. Idk why this got 5 stars sa goodreads.
