She gets it. 

This is a wild book and not for people who want likable characters and a strong plot.

Finally can understand what the Tiktok girlies have been talking about in relation to this book! 

I feel I stand in the middle of all the  opinions surrounding this book. It was a read that I couldn’t put down, but it was also difficult to read given the content of the book. In a way, I could relate to our main character but at the same time, I hated her so much. I was in a constant battle of empathising and questioning the feelings of our main character. 

It was good! Would I pick it up again? Probably not? But it was a book that kept me occupied for the time I read it, which was what I was hoping for!

Los ricos también lloran pero no nos dan pena.
Este libro hace muy buen trabajo en trasladarte al mundo interno de la protagonista, en entender cómo la misoginia y su entorno familiar la han llevado a donde está y a tomar las decisiones que toma, y en trasladarte a la Nueva York del año 2000. Pero no empatizo con ella.
Da igual lo que aprenda, da igual lo que supere, da igual como o hacia donde evolucione a mi me cae igual de mal al principio que al final, porque si se puede permitir esa transformación en primer lugar es por su posición de clase. Lo que me aleja de superar mis traumas como lo ha hecho ella no es el contexto onírico y semirrealista en el que se mueve el libro, es mi propia pobreza.
Ha sido una lectura genuinamente entretenida pero ha sido entretenida como verse un capítulo de Gossip Girl con una capa de intelectualismo por encima, no puedo concederle la profundidad que pretende darme cuando me siento tan tan lejos de todo lo que le pasa a esta chica que al final todo me da igual.
(Admito que hay una parte al final donde una apreciación de la existencia humana si me emociona un pelín, pero lo estropea el capítulo final osea que fue ese párrafo xd)
