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

emotional hopeful reflective fast-paced

5.0

the most creative book i've ever read in terms of structure. each chapter tells the story through the lens of a trope or fairy tale or cliché, but somehow the change of pace every few pages feels completely cohesive. 

also as a story of abuse and the way queer people are silenced by society, legal systems, and each other in regards to abuse- this was a hard and familiar read. definitely one of the best books i've ever read, even though it's very different from what i normally read.
