“A poetic and hauntingly original dissection of an abusive queer relationship through a creative range of narrative forms. Super short chapters are my ADHD literary love language.”

“This book is a journey, a poem, an unveiling of self. The creativity and wisdom stopped me in my tracks. I’ve never read another book like this.”

“This book is incredible. It’s a memoir about queer IPV, which is a topic you should probably know more about. It’s written in a super interesting way where each chapter is in a different style/genre. Carmen Maria Machado is a genius.”
