In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

Started listening to the audiobook, narrated by the author, a few hours ago and nonstop read it until finishing at 3 am. It's been so long since I've been truly captivated by a book. A rare, once in a blue moon occurrence I plow through a story in one sitting. If I'm being honest I didn't expect much going in, especially since I've lately been on a 3 star (or lower) reviewing streak due to nothing really entertaining me. What a suprising Pandora's  Box this "memoir not-memoir" was. A beautiful, creative, poetic, insightful, emotional, genre bending, lyrical body of work that deserves to be a classic amongst queer literature.
