I feel as if a few of the metaphors flew over my head (will likely reread later) but the prose is stunning. machado's ability to craft such visceral stories in a limited space is beyond. i can't believe she got me to briefly care abt law and order svu. this is quite a triggering story, heed the content warnings before going in.
