bookeaterbich 's review for:
Brutes
by Dizz Tate
I enjoyed this. At times it was so poetic it stopped me and I had to sit with the authors words. For example, "Every happiness held its own ruin inside of it like a glass waiting to be smashed."
Honestly, girlhood, especially the preteen girlhood was hell for me. It was confusing and frankly brutal. These girls are codependent, obsessive, lonely, without guidance, and even if they had it they wouldn't want it, just like I was back then.
Clawing at the sides of life, hoping to find some semblance of belonging while establishing autonomy.
I wouldn't go back to that time of my life. This book made me remember why I wouldn't go back and left me with the neverending questions, what actually happened and why? What did it all mean?
I have no clue and I think that is the point, to recreate the helpless cage of girlhood that houses the fierceness we hold inside.
Also, if you have any ideas about the metaphor of the stone, or maybe a literal interpretation of it, please comment below. I am curious!
