The Faces by Tove Ditlevsen
4.0
challenging dark emotional reflective tense

Fantastic writing, chilling story. Very The Bell Jar esque. I liked it a lot, but i did find it quite chaotic (this is most likely the whole point though). I feel like this is the kind of book that will get better over time as i digest it properly. The main character hyper fixates on faces which was so weird, but also worked SUPER well to paint a picture of her mental state through the story.
