A review by arminam
Model Home by Rivers Solomon
4.5
Anyone should read Rivers Solomon's work if not for their writing alone. The prose, like in all their works, is simply beautiful.
I was immediately on board when I heard fae was going to publish faer own spin on the haunted house. They use this to explore themes of mental illness, trauma, complex familial relationships, racism and queerness in an outstanding way.
In the end though I don't know how to feel about the ending, I didn't expect an explanation for all that happened in the house - but knowing what I know now, I would love to reread this in the future, catch all the intricacies in this beautiful work.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
