This book reads like the personal journal of a girl reckoning with how her role in life as a woman is disjointed from her sense of self. Seeped in sensuality, burdened by responsibility, and aching for purpose, Hot Milk explores the complexity and interconnectedness of gender, sexuality, and kinship.
