This book is really overrated on social media, but it’s still really good. The first half is honestly quite dry in my opinion, but the second half is really interesting. The way Esther develops relationships with all the characters was my favorite part, along with her neat viewings on the world. I also really liked how Plath separated scenes in a chapter.
