My Favourite by Sarah Jollien-Fardel
2.0
challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

I was liking this book a lot (or I suppose, it was making me feel a lot of emotions, it’s not an enjoyable book, very graphic depictions of childhood abuse), but then towards the end
it sort of pivots towards positing the main character’s sexuality as a result of her childhood abuse?? The idea of people ‘choosing’ to be gay because of abuse is a harmful one, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
