A review by juliaannhelene
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
I assume the Author’s use of repeatedly describing herself and her emotions from a third perspective is supposed to be a stylistic choice. Still, unfortunately, it didn't work for me and infuriated my reading experience more than anything.
Example:
“You will never feel as desperate and fucked up and horrible as you do when you hear those things."
It's still an interesting read and probably worth most people's time as it talks about an important subject, that being queer abuse, in this case wlw.
“We deserve to have our wrongdoing represented as much as our heroism, because when we refuse wrongdoing as a possibility for a group of people, we refuse their humanity.”
