monetp 's review for:
Her Body and Other Parties
by Carmen Maria Machado
3.5 stars

The hype was well deserved! The feminist short stories were thrilling, with beautiful language and astonishing imagery. I could visual every single detail. The story that I loved was "The Husband Stitch," which draws from "The Green Ribbon" story of my childhood. It was a marvelous rendition and the writing is superb. I can see this book becoming a modern classic.
The feminist undertones made the stories feel even more meaningful. The female narrators in each story have individual flaws, making them relatable to the reader. These characters were well-developed, which isn't easy to do in a short story. The original ideas combined with classic folklore were brilliantly plotted.
