The Bell Jar (Modern Classics)

A deeply intriguing story that makes you think about your own existence

I absolutely stunning! Loved it! The humor is fantastic, and I adore how obsessively meticulous she is. It’s almost tragic, and I can’t help but get goosebumps thinking that it might be inspired by her real life.

I enjoyed the novel—for the most part. While I don’t appreciate the racist comments, I understand that it was written in a different time. The writing is beautiful, and while some parts really resonated with me, others made me cringe. I relate a lot to Esther and deeply appreciated the novel’s feminist themes, as well as its thoughtful exploration of depression and suicide.
