5.0
One of the best books I’ve ever read. Don’t get me wrong, this story is heart-wrenching and awful, but the way Machado writes about her experiences is nothing short of genius. I learned, I felt, I gaped — at some parts in horror, at others in awe. Truly stunning in every sense. A chilling, tense, emotional genre-bending memoir
