sfujii 's review for:

Girlchild by Tupelo Hassman

4.0

---

I wasn't sure about this book at first. It was hard to read, process and at times, fathom. It's subject matter is really dark, and disturbing. That doesn't really get any better as the book continues. But, once I got through about page 50, the chapters started taking on more of a poetic/spoken word quality, and I got "used to" the narrator's voice. There were some passages that were so beautifully written, and so thoughtful and true that it made me have to stop reading and chew on it for a while.
Definitely not a light or easy read, because of it's content, but I would recommend it for sure.
