A review by ariizolas
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

3.0

Favorites: The Husband Stitch, Inventory, Real Women Have Bodies. The writing in this book is lush and evocative, but I confess to not knowing exactly what happened in some of the other stories, which honestly could be a fault of my own for reading this book almost entirely in the wee hours of the morning. I appreciate the casual, off-the-cuff way with which the author describes WLW relationships and also female sexuality- however, as other reviewers have discussed, the sex did get a bit much towards the end of the book.
