Another stunning read to start off 2025. Not even halfway through January, and A Heart in a Body in the World is the third book so far that managed to leave me jaw dropped, heartbroken, breathless...you name it. If you've been through *any* kind of trauma as a woman, you'll enjoy this novel. It follows Annabelle on an emotional and physical journey as she processes her experience of gun violence, and stews with grief, guilt, and loss. Deb Caletti's unique stream-of-consciousness and omniscient narration makes the story that much more invigorating.
