This memoir was beautifully written and Carmen voice was all throughout the book. It's so sad that Dream House girl didn't take any accountability for her actions, always blamed her and even physically abused her- im glad carmen was able to get out of that and rediscover herself again. She mentioned a lot of queer work in this book which was very informative cause I really didn't know they existed. There were a few moments that were hard to read but it was essentially for how this relationship was. I feel like i related to Carmen cause especially in that deep rooted relationship you always try to make it work and try to blame yourself for their actions - i did that a lot with ex so I felt her pain a lot. Def recommend!

It was very interesting to listen to. I think I would have had a hard time reading it, the audiobook was very well done. Definitely a dark read, but tells such an important story of queer domestic abuse.

this memoir was an intense read, and i'd definitely check out the content warnings before reading. but if someone can and wants to read it, i think they’ll all appreciate it. so powerful, so dark, so beautifully written. and second person!
