In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
challenging

medium-paced
5.0
I'm not in the habit of giving non-fiction ratings, but in this case, the book deserves credit. Beautifully written and wonderfully research, all so Machado could tell her own story. This was difficult and emotional to read, but really worth it. I just wish I knew who to recommend this to. It's probably the kind of book that if you read the description and reading it scares you a little, give it a shot. But take it slowly, this is a hard read.
