“Guilt is a ghost. Guilt interrupts narratives. It does so impolitely. Ghosts have no etiquette. What do they need it for? There is no Emily Post for ghosts.”
Wow. I read this for GWS because I am doing a project on it and I am so glad I picked this book. I literally audibly gasped at some points. First off, I love that it's true crime. Why haven't I read a true crime book before? I love the way Gurba formulated her thoughts. I was so moved and so invested. I relate so much since I am also Chicana and queer. I just. I love this woman. It was so dark, funny, and irreverent. I love the connections and comparisons. I read basically 90% of this book in one day because I got so invested. It was just so tragically beautiful.
