Annabel is the sort of book that you can really lose yourself in. It took me several days to finish, but only because between school, work, and life, I haven’t got much in the way of free time. Every time I sat down to read it, I found myself devouring it. Kathleen Winter’s style of writing is lovely. It is free-flowing and poetic without being overly flowery or ostentatious. I hesitate to say too much lest I give anything away, but suffice to say that this novel is truly surprising. Nothing happened quite as I expected it to. At every turn I was waiting for something that never came – and it was incredibly refreshing.
If you’re looking for a novel that explores one of the limitless paths life as an intersex individual can take, I highly recommend this one.
Rating:
I really liked this story – it’s by no means perfect, but it is still quite good.
If you’ve read it and have thoughts of your own, I’d love to discuss it. Let me know!
