A review by otherworlds
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

dark informative reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

Beautiful, terrible, haunting. Definitely made me tear up in places because the way she described the emotional and sexual abuse was so visceral and reminded me of my own life, and I felt that pain so strongly along with her. This book is painful, but also hopeful and life-affirming. I'm so glad she's safe now and I'm so glad I read this. <3
