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

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring tense fast-paced

5.0

Just amazing. Uniquely and exquisitely written. It was tough to read, yet I couldn't put it down. Probably partially the engaging writing, and partially racing to get to her freedom from the horrific situation the book depicts.

It's so easy to ask "why did they stay?" - but that's one of the most horrifying parts of abuse: just how GOOD abusers are at it.
