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

5.0

Such a beautifully written, fascinating and moving memoir highlighting the lesser known issue of domestic abuse in same-sex relationships. I swear I highlighted almost the entire book because so much of it really resonated with me as someone who knows a lot about domestic abuse but not the nuances and complexities that exist in same-sex abuse. The author tells her story and discusses these issues in short vignettes, making this a very accessible and unique book that everyone should read. A new favourite of mine and I desperately want to re-read [b:Her Body and Other Parties: Stories|33375622|Her Body and Other Parties Stories|Carmen Maria Machado|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1485266434l/33375622._SX50_.jpg|54116423] with this extra context.
