Book Reviews of Sleeveless
Book Review: A Terrifyingly Brilliant First Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Harrowing, raw and painful in its sheer honesty, Sleeveless is The Bell Jar for this generation - at times cringe-worthy to read (Many women and girls can find themselves echoed through Lisha, almost like a shattered mirror we can see our own adolescence reflected in) , at other timers, deeply, blackly funny. Joi Brozek doesn't take us quietly through her debut novel, she slams us to a wall of consciousness, forcing us to question what is real, what is imaginary, and what it means to be a teenage girl. I wish I could have read this book when I was 16, listening to Joy Division and Nick Cave, smoking clove cigarettes and drinking black coffee with fake sugar -- Then I could have spent the last 16 years of my life recommending it to everyone I know. A fierce, brave and stunning first novel, I wait in anticipation to see what she writes next....
