Abstract
- Shae by Mesha Maren is a novel that explores the story of a West Virginia girl who becomes addicted to opioids after giving birth and breaking up with her trans girlfriend. The book delves into the relationship between Shae and Cam, a misfit who is bullied by classmates but forms a bond with Shae over their shared love of punk rock. As Shae's addiction worsens, Cam transitions and pulls away, leaving Shae to blame herself. The novel portrays the complexities and contradictions of life in Appalachia, while also highlighting the natural beauty of the region. [Extracted from the article]
