In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
emotional
inspiring
tense
fast-paced
5.0
I loved this book so so much. Machado has such a way with words, and you can tell. Memoir is pretty far out of my comfort zone, but this book put me right at ease. The concept is so created, and masterfully crafts a story depicting her life with The Woman in the Dream House (as Machado calls her). I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys reading about queer history, domestic violence through a queer lense, or just anyone looking for a book that departs from the typical memoir style. I would give this book 6 stars if I could!
