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

challenging dark emotional informative fast-paced

4.25

An unfortunate well needed book. Abusive relationships can happen to anyone from any gender and in any fashion. Being queer unfortunately does not protect you from domestic abuse (physical or emotional). Carmen does an excellent job showing how abuse doesn't start with immediate beatings or beration, it starts sweetly and full of attraction, like any other relationship. And then it can slowly start. I'm glad to hear Carmen has found a love that is good for her and that she had the strength to tell this story.
