Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor

4.5

---

Very disturbing read, took me a long time to get through because of how heavy it is. But the writing is visceral, you feel the anger and fear coming through each page. It’s nauseating and made me dizzy but it is reality for so many people. Made me think a lot about femicide and how much violence permeates culture, and the stories that are used to explain that truth.
