A review by karolyne
Play It as It Lays by Joan Didion

emotional sad

3.75

my feelings about this novel are very similar to the bell jar in the sense that they could have gone deeper into the character's spectrum, but then i ask myself, can you go deeper when the point is the exact numbness and morbidity the character feels? everyone already knows how didion's writing is compelling, but one thing that really stood out to me was how creative she was when telling pivotal parts of the narrative.
