Loving Sabotage

One of the things I admire most about Loving Sabotage was that the author has imagined children of such extraordinary meanness, and has allowed this reality about children to be expressed on the page. The book feels like a layered meditation, from an adult perspective, on the egoism of young children, as well as a lovely tribute to the despair of first love.

Hmm. I didn't so much think she imagined them as exaggerated her memories. A curious book, but one I enjoyed, even though parts of it stretched credulity.

I never evaluated it as memoir, or even memoir-adjacent. I read it as 100% fiction.
In which case, yes, we read it with a different frame.
