In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

dark emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

5.0

So refreshing to see specific experiences of my community written out in such lovely, real, prose. It wasn’t romanticizing or idealizing, and if it did it was frank about it. I love the use of the medium, employing footnotes and other devices with page-turning was really effective, even on an e-reader. It is full of unhappy and emotionally violent anecdotes, and they never last too long but they are there. 
I definitely really recommend.
