In the Dream House
by Carmen Maria Machado

Achingly beautiful and haunting and thoughtful. This will stick with me for a long time. I know I’ll need to revisit because I tried to savor every word and every piece of imagery the first time around but it’s just impossible. This book deserves readers who give it as much thought and care as Machado put into it. I can’t recommend it enough as a tool for understanding/processing abuse within queer relationships. She understands the gravity of not just her own personal situation but the topic as a whole, which has not been explored to the extent it deserves.
