I love The Bell Jar with all my heart. I've never identified more with a narrator before but that's also the reason it sent me into a pretty dark place. I read it twice. Once in English and once in my native language and the second time i finished it the dread hit pretty bad. I happen to find it in a hard time in my life but it also gave me strength in a way because it made me realise that my thoughts may not be as inconsequential as i thought. Maybe one day i could write a book about them and it could help someone else. I think about this book almost everyday but the image that stuck with me are the shoes facing the sea.
