This book made me feel the grief of each character deep in my bones.
The way Mexico City is portrayed speaks to my own experience growing up and it is truly lovely to see my hometown represented so lovingly.
And incredibly strong debut, I am excited to read whatever Gerardo Sámano Córdova writes next.

While Monstrilio didn't take me on the journey I expected it to, it did fill me with endless emotions as it touched on love, loss, grief, and labels and expectations. This book spoke to me in a way I had not expected it to.
(Please look up the trigger warnings first, but....) go read Monstrilio!
