Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed is a hell of a book to read while sick. Probably a hell of a book to read whenever, honestly. Grim grim grim, and honestly if there's a trigger warning you're worried about? It's probably in there. Institutionalized pedophilia. Institutionalized rape. Drugging. Self-starvation. Abuse. Murder. Plague.

Like... It's a well written book, and I finished it. But I don't see how I can recommend it right now. #AmReading
