A review by audaciaray
Broken Glass Park by Alina Bronsky

4.0

I have been having a bit of a rough/cranky week, and I think reading this book has made me more cranky. Which is a good thing, maybe? Sascha, the main character and narrator, is a really intense and angry teenager, and for good reason: her ex-stepfather gunned down her mother and her new boyfriend in front of Sascha and her two younger siblings. The novel sprouts around Sascha's rage: at men, at the media representation of the murders, at her situation in life, at... everything. It's a really stunning, dark novel that made me queasy and anxious often. Gotta love books that have a visceral effect.

I read this after loving Alina Bronsky's Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine, and I am totally sold on her. I will most definitely read whatever she writes next!
