Vacuum in the Dark by Jen Beagin

4.0

I’ll read anything Jen Beagin writes until the end of time.


“Strange, she thought, how affected you are by malice when you’re a kid, how a mean word or look can unravel you, how devastating cruelty feels when you’re too young to protect yourself. But eventually, after all those defense mechanisms are firmly in place, it’s the so-called positive shit—mercy, not malice—that brings you to tears.”
