A review by catapocalypse
Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot

challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

This memoir is brief, but a big experience. Mailhot crafts prose that feels effortless, sometimes almost offhand, while also feeling like poetry. I was too engrossed to take time to write down the many beautiful entries I wish I had, so I think this will be one of the few memoirs that I may need to physically collect for myself.

Mailhot does not flinch at all from a number of difficult topics, so be mindful of content warnings if needed.
