Girl, Interrupted

“One of the most essential pieces of McLean art. I never read nonfiction, even memoir, but this book is incredibly special. Heartfelt and phenomenally written. A sacred text.”

“A memoir of a girl institutionalized for Borderline Personality Disorder in the 60s. Kaysen is torn about whether or not she's "crazy," goes point-by-point on the characteristics of "crazy," and while she definitely seems to be suffering for many reasons, the scariest parts of the book are not the supposedly "crazy" women, but how little humanity the world grants them.”
