In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
5.0

This was the best memoir I think I have ever read to date. The writing style was so lyrical and poetic and the formatting was so well done. It drew me in in such a way that I felt it was talking directly to my soul.

Intimidate partner violence is so real, but it’s often talked about in the context of heterosexual relationship. Getting the perspective from an individual who identifies as queer and more specifically a lesbian, isn’t something I’ve heard talked about enough. I want to commend this author for being so vulnerable and sharing her experience with us all. Thank you!

This is a book where you want to take your time and take in every single word. I will be rereading this book and recommending to others
