I'm in the mood for a book where the main character is kind of a mess ( emotionally burned out, self-sabotaging, alienated) trying but life just keeps kicking them down. Bonus points if it's related to academics or depression.
Stuff I’ve read and liked:
The Bell Jar, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Prozac Nation, The Yellow Wallpaper, Catcher in the Rye, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Virgin Suicides, Beautiful Boy.
Would love anything with a similarly introspective, unhinged, or emotionally raw main character. Fiction or memoirs are both welcome.
