Machado’s prose is absolutely beautiful and her storytelling is so
vivid and effective. There were so many painfully relatable aspects of this memoir and it leaves a deep emotional impact on me. I love all of her narrative decisions, especially the use of 2nd perspective. Beautiful story all around.
I love the bridge between her personal story and the effects of this personal story on society and I think she interlinks the two well. But I am excited for a time when we don’t have to constantly justify our existences.
