Sinceramente, no esperaba que me gustase tanto, pero lo hizo. Es exactamente lo que necesitaba leer: algo corto, ameno y que a la vez enganchase y me mantuviese entretenida. La verdad es que puede llegar a ser una lectura fría y dura de leer, pero demuestra y da voz a una realidad latente.

A pesar de que tomé el libro por una de mis clases universitarias, no me arrepiento en lo más mínimo de haberlo leído. Ojalá todas las lecturas obligatorias fuesen así de interesantes.

If you are interested in non-western LGBT narratives, please do yourself a favor and read this book! I would give out copies of this if I could. Incredibly underrated gem that leaves any white, western LGBT/feminist narrative in the dust. (I, too, grow tired of Carol being recommended left and right.)

there is a polyamorous sex scene involving all minors (if I remember correctly). if that isn't your thing, certainly skip over it
