I cannot believe I put off reading this for as long as i did. I have to be honest, I was put off by the hype but I absolutely was not disappointed.
Machado crafts this memoir in extraordinary ways and I loved the writing style. Fragmented and non-linear, she leans into the gothic horror themes of a haunted house turning it's lens onto domestic abuse between queer women.
Some parts had me gasping in horror and I honestly felt every emotion possible through this.
It really is a must read.
