### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice
*by K***L on 16 July 2025*

Nice

### ⭐⭐⭐ Can see the merit, just didn't work for me personally!
*by Z***] on 31 January 2022*

This book has some very nice chapters, I did find myself highlighting it a lot. But overall, I dont think the experimental narrative format worked for me, especially the movie interpretation stuff - which made the whole thing feel disjointed for me. I think it was incredible that the author manages to convey how toxic her relationship was without getting emotional with the prose. I'm still glad I read it, but thats all I've got to say.OH, the chapter on queer villains was *CHEFS KISS*! I highlighted the entire thing!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A memoir unlike any
*by A***S on 7 August 2020*

I finished In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado a few days back and I am still at a loss on how to articulate everything I felt while listening to it.When I started this book I only knew it was a memoir but the raw honesty and the wild creativity Machado uses in telling her story, in creating an archive for abusive queer relationships makes this unlike any memoir I have read so far.The way Machado narrates her experience of being in an abusive same sex relationship, through small snippets, using a variety of literary tropes is nothing short of revolutionary. It leads the readers to view her experiences through myriad frames, each one offering fresh insights and revelations. Interspersing it with pop culture analysis and folktales, drawing parallels from them to her own account makes reading this book doubly enriching.Machado’s use of first person and second person narration, where ‘I’ denotes her present self, in a stable safe environment and ‘you’ denotes her past self, succeeds in creating a tangible emotional connection. The transition of her relationship from tentative hope and wonder to tenderness and love to doubts and self recriminations and finally to dawning realisation and horror is recounted so masterfully that it feels like you are experiencing it all right alongside her. I am at a loss to describe all the ways this book made me feel!While the audiobook was amazing, I still feel like I need to touch the book and see the words on paper, to mark and annotate to fully take in the genius of this memoir. I highly highly recommend this book!!Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
