A review by juliasbooklife
Orpheus Girl by Brynne Rebele-Henry
emotional
reflective
sad
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
I don’t want to rate this because it is about conversion therapy, which is horrible and I don’t want to undermine the book by rating it.
I will say that it taught me more about what it’s like to be a lesbian in a small tight knit conservative town and the fear that comes with it. It also discussed some of the horrors of conversion therapy.
I will say that a lot of the writing itself was confusing and choppy but I don’t want to focus on that because of the importance of the book.
