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

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.25

This memoir is super heavy, but I also think that it's important that it exists. Domestic abuse as a general topic is already something that something that people don't like to talk about, and unfortunately, even more so when it comes to queer relationships. While I wasn't too big on the format of this in audiobook form (I definitely think this format would work better in the written form), I think that Machado's narration expertly brings the reader in to the devastating events that she discusses in this book. I think this book should be required reading for proper sex education classes.
