I loved most, disliked a few, i found that sometimes the short stories ended too soon for my liking, and some were just really boring

Tengo sentimientos encontrados, la verdad es que me costo mucho terminar de leerlo, quizás por ser un compilado de cuentos y que no necesariamente la lectura es de corrido como si fuese una novela y estaba desacostumbrada. No todos los cuentos se quedaron conmigo ni me interpelaron mucho, algunos hasta fueron tediosos de leer, pero estoy dispuesta a darles una segunda chance. En cuanto a lo positivo, la realidad es que la temática que propone la autora es interesante, describe muy bien la experiencia femenina y me dejo recalculando muchas cosas de la vida cotidiana, por eso la celebro. Es un libro que releeria porque siento que tiene varias capas de sentido y que con cada lectura una podría descubrir cosas nuevas.

Most short stories are a mixed bag of really good and really boring stories but this was consistently good!!
I do have to admit I don't remember each short story since I read this book for a WHILE due to my very big reading slump but I remember liking and even loving them.
All in all a solid short story collection! Good for people who want something quick to read

danielle pender really has a way to write the most disgusting men.. like physically revolting specimens
it’s funny and honest but also too real in a way that made me sad at times
the women in these stories were so tangible and real i felt as if i could reach through the page and touch them, they spoke in a candid way that i have never heard women speak aloud before but i knew and understood exactly what they were thinking
