I’m a real plot person, so I found this book surprisingly compellingly in a delightful way!

me lo leí pq estoy de luto y relateé 100% con la protagonista. rapidísimo de leer si la prota t cae bien (al final creo q todo el peso del libro recae aquí, y como yo estoy hecha una mierda probablemente no sea la opinión más fiable), de hecho es hasta gracioso a veces, un poco triste al final pero bueno como se ve venir pos yoqse pero vamos q me ha encantado leerlo... está entretenido y se hace muy ameno, muy bien en mi opinión

Martha was ugly like a shaven baboon,
 so she wrapped herself up in a
 curtain coccoon.
 After a week, she finally emerged 
 and she smelled like shit.
 What a psycho!
