Review of 'The Dry Heart' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This was a very short but impactful read. I’ve read a few things recently that meditate on being a wife and a mother and how those experiences might be disappointing. This has sparse, plain language that feels almost curt sometimes, but that is writing that I enjoy. It has an immediacy and a sharp impact that works for me.

Francesca was sometimes insensitive, but also so much fun
