A review by tenderness
For Your Own Good by Leah Horlick
4.0
I have sworn to myself a life of people who know when to stop. I promised—
and spent my first night in the new apartment drawing circles in salt and rain, whispering
to my old self, come here. I built this for you. I promised.
this was a very difficult read but a hugely necessary one, as is discussed in the author's conclusion note at the end. be aware if picking this collection up of its discussion of racism, rape, and abuse. this collection yanks the reader through the beginning, middle, end, aftermath, and healing of an abusive lesbian relationship and it's incredible what it accomplishes in such a short number of pages. incredibly devastating, powerful, and crucial reading.
