Emily Hadley’s Reviews > In the Shadow of the Valley: A Memoir > Status Update

Watch out... This book is super depressing and redundantly so. Had to put it down for this reason. Also, it started out poetic seemingly but then it became dull, almost as though I was reading the author’s notes. It is all over the place in terms of a timeline, which I don’t mind if it is on purpose. I don’t think so in this case. Reading it felt like it was brainwashing me into being depressed.
