thank you so much to @oneworld for the review copy ❤️

this doesn’t even come out until November but i absolutely could not wait! Hudes memoir, My Broken Language, is one of my all time favorite books and if you haven’t read it, please stop what you’re doing and go read it right nowww

okay this book is WEIRD and so human. it is atmospheric and elemental and honest and raw. it is about trying to find your way through all the pain and hurt of being left by the men who are supposed to care for you, of not feeling like enough as a mother, of not feeling like enough as a woman. of knowing only anger. of knowing only white hot rage. of finally letting the rage explode and letting the destruction just be, no matter the impact on those around you because you can’t possibly consider the impact for one second longer and maybe also the impact is the point

it’s hard to put a coherent review together for this achingly beautiful novel
