Girl, Interrupted

Susanna Kaysen’s narration is a highlight of this audiobook. Her voice carries the weight of her experiences without ever feeling heavy-handed, maintaining a balance that keeps you engaged throughout. The pacing is just right—neither too fast to lose detail nor too slow to drag on. Key moments, like describing the first encounter with the psychiatric hospital, are delivered with such clarity and emotion that they feel almost cinematic. However, I found some sections felt slightly rushed, particularly during technical explanations of her treatment options, which could benefit from a bit more narrative expansion for better comprehension.
