- story
- collection,
- Heartbreaker,
- Maryse
- Meijer,
- flashlight
- in
- hand,
- goes
- deep
- into
- the
- darkest
- rooms
- of
- the
- psyche.
- With
- gorgeously
- restrained
- and
- exacting
- prose
- that
- packs
- a
- cumulatively
- devastating
- punch,
- she
- unapologetically
- unmasks
- the
- violence
- we
- are
- willing
- to
- perform
- upon
- one
- another
- in
- the
- name
- of
- love
- and
- loneliness
- and
- the
- unremitting
- desire
- to
- survive.
- In
- doing
- so,
- she
- lights
- societal
- convention
- and
- reader
- expectation
- on
- fire,
- exploring
- the
- darker
- emotional
- truths
- surrounding
- love
- and
- sex,
- femininity
- and
- masculinity,
- family
- and girlhood.
