A review by rashi
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative sad tense slow-paced

5.0

I have found it difficult to put this narrative into words. All I can say is that I really felt it, not just the big bad stuff but all those small moments that seem to tally up into your psyche and be the most difficult parts to shake. I’m grateful for her willingness to share. For some reason I can’t rate this 5 stars and I’m not sure why.

Update: this has been moved to a 5 star rating out of sheer will, because I don’t know what else to do with my thoughts about it. Will have to read it again and maybe revise.
