In the Dream House
by Carmen Maria Machado
Finishing this book, I found out that Carmen narrates the audiobook herself, and do wonder if listening to it would make my rating higher.
It's a beautifully written book and a unique memoir where Carmen not only inserts the readers into instances of her life but also encourages us to ask questions and reminds us that we're all just human. Had I not borrowed this from the library, I would have been highlighting in it enthusiastically.
I didn't care a whole lot for the footnotes though. I understand why they were there and am sure that they add to the story for many other people, but as a reader I've never liked frequent footnotes and this didn't change that.
