A review by readbydusk
We Are Wolves by Laurel Hightower, Cynthia Pelayo, Gemma Amor
5.0
4.5 rounded up! We Are Wolves is a powerful collection of stories and poems that highlights the courage, survival, weariness, and anger of women. This is a response to all the times when women are told to smile, to be silent, to be beautiful, because they are not worth more than that. But as this book brilliantly shows, women are a force to be reckoned with and those who stand in their way will pay the price.
The stories include a haunting look at a cry for help, a delightful twist on the grieving husband trope, a heartbreaking portrayal of the unfairness of motherhood, a familiar tread on male privilege, and a harrowing tale that declares: enough is enough. There’s tragedy, heartbreak and rage, but also joy, freedom and triumph. I loved this book. Absolutely recommended!
