I ate this like chocolate. It's so satisfying in my head to read the journal entries and short stories and recognise scenes throughout her literature and to see where they gathered inspiration. So many times I found myself underlining lines and noting that this scene took place in the bell jar or that she talks about this in her journal entries or this poem is in Ariel. It's like the cinematic universe of Sylvia Plath and all the dots are connecting. Ocean 1212-W was super personal to me, as the details and the story were terrifyingly spot on to my life. She even describes a scene that is identical to where I was sitting and reading the story!! I had to put the book down and look over my shoulder to make sure she hadn't time travelled and was writing about me
