This book is brilliantly written and so important. I loved the poetic writing. I loved the extremely short chapters. I loved the footnotes. I... have no words. Oh my God.

UGHH starting off the year SOOO good. One of if not the most well written book I've ever read. Inspiring beautiful haunting and although it was intense and bleak at times it really ends showing you how you can always overcome trauma and it will be ok. Loved this beyond words my highlighter ran DRY but how much i annotated to many good lines. Will definitely be checking out her body and other parties (if i can find a copy) now that I have read Carmen's writing. Was gonna jump right into speak but i want a somewhat less intense and dark read so let me roam my bookshelves for my next book :)
