A review by readrunsea
Atlas of the Human Heart by Ariel Gore

4.0

Ariel Gore is one of my favorite writers ever ever, so I of course loved this book, but if you haven't read We Were Witches or The End of Eve, I highly recommend reading them both before you read this one. The writing is still very good, but it doesn't have *quite* the same lyrical magic that the other two do. I enjoyed this book as background for the other two. That said, the story is still fascinating, and kind of unbelievable- at turns brash, poignant, devastating, enraging, hilarious, touching... all the things. She's sure had some adventures and been through some shit, and I'm very happy she decided to write all these books about her wild life.
