Consent: A Memoir, by Vanessa Springora

challenging dark emotional fast-paced

5.0

The development from the perspective of V as a girl with specks of authoritative intrusion in the form of reflection, into the opposite is seamless. Even in the form of a non-fiction memoir, I still felt a clear distinction of G as (ironically) a 'character' which comes with a new set of disgusted emotions at how emotionally connected she was to him that she could portray him in such an effective manner. I find that when she wants to, her writing can be deeply expressive and beautiful and if she ever wrote a fictitious narrative I would read it at the first available opportunity.
