A review by sadgirlsidney
I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

 Raw, horrific at times, and as a CIS woman definitely relatable to a certain extent. 

What caught me off guard was hearing my hometown and finding out the author also grew up there. Suddenly it felt so much more personal, like did I go to the same school as them? Did the same people bully us? Makes for a different kind of atmospheric experience when it’s suddenly a setting you’ve lived in and you’re picturing certain places that Vivek’s stories trigger.
