Me tarde sigloooos en acabar este libro, y es que la verdad si es complicado de leer, sobre todo la primera mitad del libro, muchas veces no entendía que estaba pasando, ni entendía los brincos en la historia que daba Sylvia (ahora uqe se un poco más del contexto en el que fue escrita la novela, puedo entender un poco mejor), eso sí Esther (la protagonista) es super relatable sobre todo al momento de tratar la crisis que tenentra al acabar la prepa y el que vas a hacer con tu vida, la segunda mitad del libro que es en la que se trata la salud mental, es la parte más fuerte y, en mi opinion, la mejor parte, esta se lee con más agilidad y más fluidez.

una de las cosas negativas que le vi a la novela,es el racismo enorme por parte de Esther, para la página 10 ya había varios slurs, y conforme iba leyendo cada vez se me hacía más incomodo, así que eso es algo que tener en cuenta.
