dark tense fast-paced

3.5

This was easy to read in the sense that the action was quick, but it contained a lot of abuse and violence that were hard to stomach. 

V thankful for the highlight on endo, though. Menstrual abnormalities and struggles are not discussed enough.

Llevo unos días pensando en cómo escribir esta reseña y sigo sin saber muy bien cómo hacerlo. 

Trata varios temas complicados, y sí bien algunos fueron un poco yikes, uno de los temas más jodidos se trató desde el respeto y la suficiente distancia como para no volverse catalizador traumático. Que teniendo en cuenta el historial, está bien no ser gráficos. 

Tiene un ritmo como raruno, y algo me olía sobre cómo iba a desarrollarse el argumento desde bastante pronto. Y acerté con el último twist de los capítulos finales. 

El final me ha dejado un poco ñeh tho.

Such a fantastic read. It just wraps you in and doesn't let you go out. Some passages were so tense I couldn't read fast enough to know what is going to happen.
And there is a beautiful found family 

But I encourage everyone to look at the CW for this book, there is some dark shit in this.
