As the year nearly ends I am trying to mark down all the books that I have completed this year so this is why my review isn't long or detailed.

This was an interesting and fast paced read that followed journalist, Nellie Bly as she gets herself admitted into an asylum. It was horrible to read about how patients were treated by the staff of people who were supposed to take care of them at their most vulnerable.

It was eye-opening how easy it was for a woman to be admitted and declared ‘insane'

This is a great read if you want to start dipping your toes into the nonfiction genre or if you need to find some short reads to get closer to your reading goal!
