I read a lot of books and even my fair share of memoirs but I can honestly say I've never read something like this before. Yes, it chronicles the author's experience in an abuse relationship but the book itself is constructed in such a way it feels like you are reading something completely unique and new. Machado had to invent a way to share her story and we the readers are lucky to get to read it. If this one wasn't on your radar, it should be.
