i loved how the book was written, how raw, and exemplified her truth. it’s also incredibly brave to talk about your relationship and the abuse she survived. I think it’s powerful that she was able to be so raw and vulnerable with her audience. It was truly captivating and is a game changer for LGBTQ relationships.

Machado's story is heartbreaking and hard to grapple with, but the writing in this memoir is absolutely breathtaking.
