Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
4.0

This is a book that becomes better upon reflection. It is a dizzying, unsettling, brief, and urgent work. It is non-linear not just within the book, but sometimes within paragraphs. My experience reading (or rather, listening) to the book was closer to a 3, but between the authors notes at the back and allowing it to simmer in my mind a bit, I came to appreciate more of what the author did here. Her voice is unflinchingly and unapologetically her own, and it is a powerful and needed one.
