The Bell Jar was an odd read for me. Not something I’d usually choose. But I’ve read Ariel so I thought why not.

To some people, Esther’s story seems boring and confusing, but it really struck home with me. In some moments I cried for her. Because I’ve been there in the past. Not quite as extreme, but nearly. I could really relate to her and it broke my heart to see someone like that. A real eye opener.

I only rated it 4 instead of 5 stars because the story kept jumping which got confusing for me. I loved it other than that.

This book ripped my heart to shreds. I cried a river. Amazing. Cannot fault it. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

I loved this book! But it was very clear that the protagonist was a woman written by a man. Which isn’t an issue, but it was slightly out of touch. Nevertheless I loved following Olivia’s story and her courageous fight against the Nazi regime. And the ending made my heart glow!

Love love love love LOVED this story. Yes, some are saying it’s cheesy or whatever. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some things broke my heart! (Don’t want to add a spoiler)

Such a beautiful read. I was so upset when I’d finished it because I wanted to read more!

Wow I am blown away by how boring and longed out this book was. It absolutely did not live up to the hype people seem to be giving it.

So many dreary, long-winded descriptions and unnecessary internal dialogue. I thought I, too, was going to die with 99% of the characters. But I’d die of boredom.

I don’t even know why I bothered to finish it. Looking at what I’ve written, 2 stars was generous.

I loved this book! I was sceptical because Seven Husbands was a DNF for me, but I was obsessed with this book.

At some points I forgot I was reading and thought it was my own life. Silly, I know. This book really makes you think about how different life would be if you made even the smallest decisions differently. I thought it was great!

I really enjoyed this book. Fast paced, loveable characters and a great plot!!

I enjoyed this book. It had a very slow start and I considered giving up but then the story got more interesting. I really liked the characters and the whole setup, but january is far too forgiving and I feel like she needed more of a backbone. Maybe that’s just me. I don’t know.

She gave me the vibes of “mummy and daddy did everything for me now I’m going to cry because life isn’t that easy”. People like that are annoying.

I was so excited to read this book, but it was an enormous let down. Nothing even happened until I was about 60% through the book. It was just needless descriptions. It was so dull. It gives me hope that if stories like that can be published, so can anything.

It was ok. Not a fan though.

Loved this book. I kept wanting to slap the protagonists in the face to make them see sense so that’s a good sign.
