Sink: A Memoir by Joseph Earl Thomas
4.0
This was my first memoir written in third person and I loved it. Thomas's writing style is certainly a choice and it is a lot, but I adored it so much. It's so beautiful and harsh and grounded in reality.
This was a very difficult book to get through. There is so much abuse and so much pain in these pages, but it's also an incredibly worthwhile read. Despite how much this made me cringe in sympathy, I loved reading his writing. For me, this is a book that completely relies upon his writing.
This is definitely a book I'd recommend reading a page or two before you commit just to see if you get along with the writing, but I loved it. I had not heard of him before being gifted this book, but I'm definitely interested to see what else Thomas writes in the future.
