A review by grimdreadful
Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker

5.0

"The way violence shrinks women, makes us feel lucky for things that aren't lucky. Even when we think we've outrun it, look back— see its long reaching fingers touching every choice we've made. "

 A raw gut punch from start to finish (with a short intermission in chapter 19 for a good laugh).

 This book will make you feel every emotion. I cried, and then I cried some more. I will not spoil it for you, so be sure to check the content warnings. 

This is now my most annotated/tabbed book and one of my favourite reads of this year.
