I enjoyed the last few chapters of this memoir where Kaysen talked more about her disorder and the people's (especially her own doctors') unfair treatment to people afflicted with borderline personality disorder. I personally think the entry entitled "My Diagnosis" is the strongest piece in the book. Kaysen, I believe, was trying to advocate that most people have borderline personality disorder -- mild or intensive, beyond or within knowledge, implicit or explicit; that in maybe twenty-five years it will no longer be considered a disorder, but a thing people will only have to look after on a normal basis. Just like homosexuality. And in a manner of speaking I agree with her. She set down a few features of her disorder and I can confirm that most of them are experienced by my peers, even myself. Does that warrant a hospitalization, then? If so, most of the youth today would be out of school and inside psychiatric hospitals. Girl, Interrupted is a curious read; you will be introduced to a (excuse the harshness, but it's true) sappy, Tumblr-like, Tahereh Mafi-like essays at the first few chapters, but as you go along you'd find more hook just enough to see you through to the end. 3.5 stars.
