I just found a review of Scrap: Salvaging a Family from Jeyran Main. I love it!
Castle’s prose is spare yet evocative. The flash form intensifies the emotional resonance, allowing each vignette to stand alone while contributing to a cohesive emotional arc. Readers who appreciate memoirs that experiment with structure while remaining grounded in emotional truth will find Scrap especially compelling.

Additionally, the Poetic Book Tour began today with a review at The Bookworm. I found it interesting that The Bookworm reads the book as poetry. I am thinking that the flash pieces might be read as prose poetry. The line between flash nonfiction and prose poem is different for every reader.
