If you are not a fan of Sylvia Plath I suggest you skip this one.

Thoughts on The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
The silent patient has raving reviews all over the cover and internet and everywhere. So it instinctively fell in the next to-read book.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Girl, interrupted – Movie
Girl interrupted has been on the must-watch list for a very long time and last night I crossed this one finally. Since it was released in December 1999 and its 2019, and the whole image of mental health has shifted drastically since then, I watched it with a clean slate as a viewer rather than...
