Lauren Marie's Reviews > Trauma Plot: A Life

I’ve been a fan of Jamie’s writing for years now. Her pre-op diary substack post brought tears to my eyes, and I have continually reread her piece on Annie Ernaux published by The Baffler. All’s to say, I had high hopes and expectations which have been exceeded! Months after finishing, I find myself still mulling and thinking about it. The writing is compulsively readable but does deal with difficult subject matter that could definitely be triggering for sexual assault/violence. After finishing part one, I did have to take a break but ended up finishing the last two-thirds all in one sitting. Tears streaming down my face all the while. I have already pre-ordered a copy and look forward to pouring over Jamie’s words again.

Thank you to Penguin Random House for an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
