La contraportada del libro describe la novela como «cruda y feroz pero también poética y conmovedora» y no puedo estar más de acuerdo. 

💙

“Mi máscara era una tras la que esconderse, una de vergüenza y miedo, una que a esa edad no debería necesitar, siquiera conocer.”

“Que la violencia machista se dispensa con independencia de lo que hagamos o dejemos de hacer las mujeres era algo que todavía no había aprendido.”

“Eran pequeñas afirmaciones que se iban acumulando y que parecían describir a otra criatura que no era yo. (…) las recibía como avisos de la vergüenza que supondría negarlas.”

“Me di cuenta de que el miedo me afectaba de un modo particular, manteniéndome en un estado perpetuo de inmadurez por alejarme de toda experiencia significativa.”

“Nunca llegué a entender por qué la diversión de unos pasaba por encima de la humillación de otros.”

Man, i don't like rating anything with 5 stars but this book definitely deserves it. Read it if you're in the mood for crying, if you are trans or know someone who is, if you're interested in Madrid, if you're currently making an effort to see a light at the end of the tunnel, or if you just feel like it. Any reason is a good reason to read it because whatever your motive is; it will speak to you.
