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

challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced

Enlightening and devastating. Beautifully written but sometimes too caught up in metaphor that it was hard to understand, though that is probably my own issue and not the author’s. I was particularly impressed by the chapter The Dream House as Choose Your Own Adventure - I read this book on Kindle and this chapter was a unique and fascinating reading experience. 
This book had a lot of impactful lines, and I think my favorite is “How many times had you said, ‘If I just looked a little different, I’d be drowning in love’? Now you got to drown without needing to change a single cell. Lucky you.”
