Reviews with content warning for Rape - Las devoradoras

“What do you actually want from your life?”

This is one of those books that feels like it was written for me.

For all the girls who had a breakup with a best friend that you thought was your better half. For all the girls who survived their abusers. For all the girls who survived and still lost themselves. For those who know loneliness like an intimate partner. For all those girls who never found a way to connect their mind to their bodies.

For all those girls who just yearn for a community of other women, but have never fit in and are always left outside the intimacy - but don’t understand why.

This made my heart twist and was a dense amount of sadness, but also enough hope to keep moving through.

Ouch and wow.

i wasn't really sure how this book was going to land with me until i reached the 200+ page mark and then i was taken aback when my feelings suddenly shifted into a solid like. this book makes you work for the connections between plot points and how they impact our protagonist instead of blatantly showing you. as i read more books with women who are older than me as our protagonist the more i realize how complicated and layered we become the more we grow older, as well as our relationships. would recommend.

I think this book has literally made me on the verge of going into a reading slump. The present timeline that’s actually about the supper club is way more boring than I anticipated and the past timeline is absolutely pointless. I literally couldn’t care any less about any of the characters.
