I was gasping and sobbing as I finished this book. As the blurb says, Gurba’s work is ceremony, incredibly important to witness.

I appreciated this essay collection examining gender violence, misogyny, and racism against Latine people. Gurba is a powerful writer and doesn’t hold back in pointing out problematic societal patterns. 
Definitely check content warnings, gendered violence, sexual assault.

Thanks to Avid Reader Press for the free copy of this book.

 - CREEP is a collection of essays that are part memoir, part historical exploration, all righteous rage.
- Gurba is a master at channeling her experiences into sentences that cut right to the heart of the problem and of the reader.
- This book is a tough read. But if you're up for it, it's a truly excellent excoriation of the many overlapping systems that make space for predators to thrive.
