gracew 's review for:

Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
challenging dark emotional tense fast-paced
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

TW: rape, pandemic

This is one I'm not going rate mostly because it was a lot harder for me to read than I expect it to be. It is not that the stories are not good, they are very good. They are very raw and real and under different circumstances I might have loved them. But the tone was really hard for me to process right now. I don't dislike it but because of how messed up it made me, I don't feel comfortable giving it a rating.
