Review of 'Bluets' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Maggie Nelson's Bluets packs a punch despite its small size. It can be read over the course of two days (one, really) as I did, but it could as easily be studied over a much longer period of time. There were some passages that eluded my understanding, but were beautifully written all the same. The most unique part of this piece is her style -- the book is written as a numbered list. I would definitely recommend this book, especially because even if you don't end up liking it, it doesn't take that long to read so you wouldn't lose much time.
