Abandon Me by Melissa Febos
5.0
i can't remember who (sorry!), but I was reading a review of acts of desperation and they recommended this book as something similar – that perhaps in some ways superseded it – and I have to say I completely agree. Melissa Febos is something magical, and her perfect, personal grasp of relationships (longing, loneliness, want, jealousy, trust) is perfectly executed in this memoir without being too woe-is-me. Her language is lyrical and dancing and it's so easy to sit down to read a few pages and find yourself so absorbed that you lose all sense of reality.
MORE MORE MORE PLEASE.
