A review by lauraanne_
Acts of Desperation by Megan Nolan

5.0

SHORT CHAPTERS + 25 year old girl’s self-destructive internal monologue!!!!! 5/5!!!! I don’t want to say no plot… but… mild plot. Just vibes... unhinged vibes. I read this super fast because I loved the way it was written. The most ferocious and belittling feeling is being a woman desperate for someone’s time and love — someone who doesn’t want anything to do with you. This book was unsettling because of how real and raw and intensely relatable it was. This brought me back to a pre-therapy time of extreme loneliness and desperation. I loved this book.

"What would you choose? Either you can be famous for being a shrill prop in a great man’s work, a victim sacrificed to the gods of art, or you can nod along and applaud. You can have a seat at the big boy’s table for being such a good sport. So, go ahead: ha ha ha."
