dark emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

Yuknavitch is a brilliant, evocative writer (her descriptions of grief are some of the most accurate and raw I’ve ever read) but the use of slurs throughout was extremely distracting to me.

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful reflective sad

4.5

A remarkable read. So beautifully written and honest. Not giving 5 stars because the author uses the r* word multiple times throughout which is pretty jarring given how recently it was written.
