Girl, Interrupted | Susanna Kaysen

so-so

Memoir from the author about 2 years in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s. It was a quick read so I finished it but was left feeling a bit nonplussed. I don't feel that I got any insight about the author at all, & I agree with another reviewer who says it all just feels rather empty. Most readers seemed to really like this one but whatever they saw, I just didn't connect with it. 2.5⭐

Without Merit: A Novel | Colleen Hoover

so-so

When I first saw this book, I was expecting a twisted romance, as expected from Colleen Hoover. However, the core theme is family drama, with romance just being a backbencher. The absurd family👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 and depression are taking two front rows. Overall, it's a gripping read.📖
