oh wow. very heartbreaking, reflective, so very well-done. how is it possible to review and criticize someone's own life, their experience?

i have serious mixed feelings — how do you review someone’s life? the writing is really gorgeous, and i really appreciate this novel’s attempt to fill the gap about domestic abuse in the lesbian archive.

on behalf of current and future lesbians, i thank you Carmen.

The change between 1st and 2nd perspective really pulls you into the insecurities and emotions of this read and experience. It also pulls sources from other media, stories, and other sources. I think this is an important read so you know you're not alone.
