A review by enp3423
Snowflake by Louise Nealon

5.0

If Luna Lovegood could write an ode to the mental health crisis in Ireland, Louise Nealon's debut novel, Snowflake would be it.

Digging deep into the complexities of bipolar disorder, alcoholism, depression, and grief, Nealon takes a seemingly simple coming-of-age story and turns it into so much more. All of these heavy topics are circling Nealon’s main motif - the shittiness of the young adult, female experience.

From candid internal debates about pubic hair removal to the sting of unspoken slut shaming, Nealon manages to cover all of the bullshit young women deal with on a daily basis.
