La manera en que nos dejan acercarnos a Liliana y conocerla pega fuerte. Hacia el final del libro me tuve que tomar descansos por eso. Aunque Rivera habla de que en los 80s/90s no tenían el lenguaje para hablar de violencia de pareja, y ahora sí lo hay, y a pesar de la gran fortuna que tengo de que yo no haya sido cercana a ninguna víctima de feminicidio (y qué horrible es que tenga que ser una fortuna), aún así la historia de Liliana, la de sus amigos y familia, se siente personal e íntima. 

Es de esos que hay que digerir un buen rato. Y creo que eso me toca hacer ahora.
