The Bell Jar
Author: Sylvia Plath
Summary: A woman who's pretty and smart but constantly unhappy ends up getting admitted into a mental institution and treated for severe depression.
Personal thoughts about the book: Esther was never, ever happy. She had such a negative attitude on life in general that nobody could understand why considering she was very attractive, intelligent, and successful at writing. Esther is purely candid and somewhat witty as she tells her story about being in the bell jar. The book tends to jump from one subject to another, which was my least favorite thing.
Rating on a scale of 1 to 10: 8
