Susana Kaysen in her Autobiography, 'Girl Interrupted' shows us how getting better from mental illness is a long, long difficult road...

At the asylum she was in she makes friends and keeps a Diary that is the basis for her Autobiography.

But her story struggles, there are incomplete patches where she trails off, leaving the reader hanging midway...

I never thought I would say this, but it is Hollywood that comes to her aid, stitching up her story beautifully. Who can forget the amazing performances of Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder.

Yes it is the movie that shows us what Susana's World really was...

Do not sleep on this book. It's a quick read and made me cackle. RUN TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY BITCHES AND GET THIS BOOK. (We love an unreliable female narrator in this house...if you do not then maybe not for you!)
