A review by maketeaa
Sweetdark by Savannah Brown

dark reflective medium-paced

4.5

while questioning the fabric of our lives can often feel entirely theoretical, like a dive into the unknown, savannah brings the world disturbingly close, like being able to see the colour of the sky's gums. using vivid anatomical imagery, she puts the essence of the human experience under an x-ray -- watching cable cars go past in greenwich, or relating to some wayward parakeets, or thinking about the apocalyptic feeling of being with someone. as per usual, her writing is such a viscerally graphic journey, one that makes you uncomfortably aware of all the cells in your skin.
