Corey Ann Haydu’s
THE CAREFUL UNDRESSING OF LOVE is a haunting and dream-like
experience. The plot centers around Lorna, a “Devonairre” girl.
In Haydu’s Brooklyn, there’s a little street named Devonnaire,
and if you live there for more than a year...any boy you love will
die. That’s what all Devonnaire residents have been told, at least.
Haydu’s novel is one that, even putting plot aside, I’d
definitely recommend for the writing style alone. Reading THE CAREFUL
UNDRESSING OF LOVE genuinely feels like a hazy, almost hypnotic
experience. Really, it’s hard to describe! Just pick it up, check
out the first few pages—you’ll see what I mean. If you’re into
atypical writing styles and inquiries into what love is, you should
absolutely move THE CAREFUL UNDRESSING OF LOVE to the top of your TBR
list!
