Uhm… 🤔😐
Me incomodó… pero interesante. Es cortita, no busca ahondar mucho y creo que prefiere dejar a la imaginación de la lectora. Cuesta descifrar al principio, pero poco a poco se desenreda. Me queda la duda de qué habrá pasado, realmente, para este deterioro psicológico de la protagonista. 
Te deja pensando…

This is a short and twisted novel. We're kept in the dark along with her father and daughter who this paranoid main character is keeping captive in her apartment. The ending was brutal.
