I’ve never related to anything more than Sylvia Plath talking about taking baths. A part that stuck out to me was when she decided to walk for hours drunk in the middle of the night to return home sober, I found the book very slow until the psychiatric hospital but once there I felt very much connected to the character and saw pieces of myself in her. A very interesting part was explaining the overdose from her perspective.
