In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.5

This book is important to read and at times, difficult to read. I appreciated the representation of a queer relationship that is usually hidden. This book reminded me of something I would read on my Women Gender Studies class in college - something that will stick with me but while reading often felt over my head. I didn't expect the memoir to be driven by literary and cultural analysis, but I recognize there was a poetic significance to everything being said. I would recommend to anyone who is willing to think critically and open yourself to a story that is more common than we would like.
