Heavy

There’s nothing I love more than a haunted house and generational trauma but be forewarned: this book is heavy. Please please check the trigger warnings before jumping in but the dive is worth it. I’m scared to say too much about the plot itself and give anything away but the pops of humor were an unexpected yet pleasant surprise, also I guess the only thing I’ll say since it’s not really important to the story is I too used to ice skate at the Galleria. I forgot all about that memory until I read it. Anyway this was my first Rivers Solomon book and it definitely lived up to the hype! I took one star off just because I don’t personally vibe with the stream of consciousness style of writing, in my opinion it’s difficult to follow. But just my opinion, of course! Thanks to NetGalley, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, and MCD for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
