In the Dream House
by Carmen Maria Machado
challenging
dark
emotional
informative
reflective
medium-paced
This felt like I was reading Crying In H Mart all over again, not in a sense that the plot is the same but the immediate immersion and lyrical writing brought up the same feelings. The fragmentation and length of the chapters are such a good representation of her process and everything she went through, what she felt experiencing it all written so perfectly. The perfect balance of educating the reader and sharing your own experience that it almost felt like a story being told instead of a memoir but you keep getting reminded thst this actually happened to someone and is something present everywhere.
