THIS BOOK

Machado truly did something innovative and daring with this, and it was executed so well. it truly blew me away, i think this should be regarded as a modern classic

i had a list of so many pages to reference back to and it was so difficult to narrow down my favorite quotes, because each is so unique and adds something new. with its difficult central subject matter of abuse in a queer relationship, it's truly so hauntingly captivating and so purposeful with its use of imagery, prose, and shuffling of narrative lenses. i really want to own a copy of this book, because i think it’s one that you can keep re-reading and have new interpretations with each repeat
