A review by dedempsey
Couplets: A Love Story by Maggie Millner

4.0

This quick but rich novel in verse tells the story of a narrator who falls in love twice. I was reminded of Women by Chloe Caldwell, which I also tore through in one sitting, for its themes and beautiful language. My favorite part of this novel was its references to works of fiction and theory by women writers. All are vague in the text but explained or identified in a note at the end of the book — so much more to dig into!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
