This book is amazing. I wish Sylvia Plath wrote more novels because this one is so good. I read it in 2 days and it was really hard to put down. The way she writes is so unique and shows you why she gets so much recognition that she deserves. This is one of the first dark/emotional books about concerning mental health that I read and it’s what got me into that genre, well that and my seasonal depression. Anyways, this book is so good and should always be considered a classic, I mean after you finish it you can completely understand why it has been given the “classic” title.
