A review by krystalicia_
This World Does Not Belong to Us by Natalia García Freire

challenging dark sad medium-paced

3.5

Ok, I’m going to be honest, this went 100% over my head and that is definitely a me problem and not a book problem. The book itself was unsettling and uncomfortable in the best possible way which is good because this was definitely out of my comfort zone.

At the heart of the story was a strife-filled relationship between Lucas and his father as he returns back to his childhood home. The hate was palpable and I kept reading in hopes that the slimy feeling would pass, but to no avail. It’s haunting, it’s dark, but so absolutely beautifully written and it truly showcases the absolute worst about people. Short but so difficult to put down.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
