The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
4.0
dark reflective medium-paced

I can see how this set the foundation for media like Girl, Interrupted and Eileen 

For those (specifically young women) who have experience with depression, the story is familiar. The conspiratorial intrusive thoughts, the pervasive need for independence in a society that tells you that’s wrong, the search for purpose while being stuck in a terrible limbo. It really captures what it’s like to be a depressed young woman coming up in a world that’s not built for you.
