damn i really wish i paid more attention in my literary theory class. I feel like it would’ve heightened the experience for me. the style of writing in this book is so compelling, I found myself framing my own memories in it: “dream house as” and second person pov.

dark emotional funny medium-paced

4.75

This book is reflective, heartbreaking, and informative. It taught me about queer history and the relationships and disfunctions that shaped our community today. It also tells the personal story of a queer woman dealing with domestic abuse and her mental state in a fragmented and fascinating way. I read it in days. I recommend this to all gay women!
