No era para mi este libro y por eso mi baja puntuación...
Es corto y lo acabé antes de darme cuenta, pero a la vez fue un DNF porque no leí las historias extras. De hecho iba a abandonar el libro al acabar el capítulo. Es como si hubiera ido a cortar con alguien y esa persona cortase antes conmigo.

He de decir que me reí bastante y que en general me parece una narración cargada de humor, pero a lo mejor solo lo estoy viendo yo...Pero es que había ciertas cosas que tenían que ser escritas para hacer gracia, a mi no me engañan:

"No era un monstruo que iba a comerme. Era este monstruo.
Que me lo ha comido."

Soy una persona diferente tras haber leído esas líneas. Me he quedado marcada de por vida y posiblemente haya muerto de risa y esté en el infierno (porque me lo merezco, no por otra cosa).

For lack of a better description this book was... exactly what I was expecting. It was a quick read and entertaining.

PLEASE READ if you find SA triggering.

BIG note: consent is dubious in this novel. The love interest goes down on the heroine while she's unconscious the first time they meet due to what I can only call a cultural difference. She wakes up and ends up being ok with the situation, and they proceed to establish consent for every other sexual encounter, but this would definitely be triggering for a lot of people. There is also a r*pe scene very early on in the novel, though it is meant to be disturbing/sad (as it should). It isn't extremely graphic, but you know the gist of what's happening.
