A review by moonspluvia
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
4.0
A low 4.5??? I had an expectation of how this book was gonna be written. Everyone said it was written like a fairy tale or an actual fictional story- very poetic and whatnot. And it was!! But not in the way I thought it was, which left me having to adjust. I thought it was gonna be more fiction than memoir, using all kinds of metaphors and stuff to describe her irl experiences. And it was, but it also wasn’t.
But, overall, this book was fantastic. This book is a memoir and it reads like a memoir. I think that’s where my brain tripped up. Cause it didn’t read as fictional and whimsical as some have described, but whatever!! I think tho ebook was fantastic and I’m very grateful to have read it. I’m glad to have read another nonfiction book and can’t wait to read more
