Mariana como siempre maravillosa, no tengo palabras. Que genia. Es una novela atrapante, impredecible (a mi parecer). Dentro de la fantasía y la ficción los personajes me resultaron tan reales, no los odias, pero tampoco los amas, los entiendes. Me gustó que la historia se fuese construyendo como si fuera un rompecabezas, a veces llegaba a sentir que los capítulos eran historias aisladas entre sí, pero cohesivas.

I will come back to it! But go into it expecting A Little Life or The Goldfinch pace for a family drama - less plot-heavy, supernatural horror.

Not interesting, more sexual than I realized, and based on reviews this one is disturbing so I will be skipping.

Objectively excellent, not entirely for me. I learned that 'sweeping' and 'literary' are a combo that doesn't 100% work for me. I was invested in the characters and plot however and wanted to see them thru. The LGBTQ representation was great; done right imho. The queer elements are more incidental and coming-of age. A bit of functional polyam representation too 👌🏻
