challenging dark emotional informative slow-paced

5.0

Wow! What an incredible piece of queer literature unlike anything I’ve ever read. This story is so deeply personal and resonant that it stays with you long after you’ve stoped reading (or in my case, listening.) The audiobook, read by Carmen Maria Machado is phenomenal and depicts a truly powerful narrative that is heartbreakingly not uncommon. Please check content warnings if you do wish to read this book - it’s not an easy one.
