What It’s Like in Words is an extraordinarily beautiful and poetic novel. The writing masterfully paints such vivid images that the story comes alive from the print in the most unique way. The story is written in the first person from the viewpoint of Enola, a struggling almost 30-year old who is still trying to find her voice on paper as a writer and in her own personal narrative. Her inner dialogue is raw and powerful and radiates her total vulnerability. As she delves into a new relationship and examines her past, toxic and unhealthy connections push her to the brink. In this gripping and masterful page turner, we see the intense and realistic struggle to assert oneself as a young woman in an often cruel and challenging world.
