This one is more of a distracted wandering journal, The Bell Jar is one woman's depressed thoughts. This one wasn't depressing at all and it's so short there's no time to let the story weigh you down. The books have very different feels.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-25089707979870823092011-03-09T09:19:27.895-05:002011-03-09T09:19:27.895-05:00I have not heard of this book before, but this sur...I have not heard of this book before, but this sure looks interesting! I should probably read this. Is it anything like The Bell Jar? I don't know if I would want to read anything depressing again anytime soon.

I don't know if I would have like dit as much. <br /><br />Amanda - I have books like that too. Sometimes a person's love for a book can ruin it if you don't like that person. <br /><br />BookQuoter - I love the cover!<br /><br />Sandy - I did too. It sounded like she went through post-pardum in her own life.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-18054755091608193292011-03-07T12:03:02.421-05:002011-03-07T12:03:02.421-05:00Hey thanks for the shout out!

I also found the background of the author interesting as well!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-777272752310833982011-03-07T09:28:38.944-05:002011-03-07T09:28:38.944-05:00Thanks for the review.
