“Necesitaba que me escuchara, necesitaba que nos escuchara a todas”

Esta clase de libros siempre me deja medio vacía, pero siempre los encuentro necesarios. Las lecturas que mas me duelen son las que me ponen en perspectiva más a menudo, al consumir este tipo de media me siento identificada en un modo un poco sombrío, porque sé que en cada palabra hay una pequeña parte de mi. Leer esta clase de textos se siente como escuchar lo llevamos gritando por tanto tiempo. Hay cierto comfort en saber que estas historias están siendo contadas, y que hay un espacio para ellas en la comunidad lectora. Nunca he sido buena en explicar cómo me siento al leer libros con esta temática, pero quiero obligar a todo el mundo a leerlas, quiero que todxs se sientan un poco vacíos y hacer lugar dentro para escuchar, escuchar, escuchar.

this is such an important book because of the way it handles real life issues through the lenses of a young person growing up and dealing with them, without being unrelatable. i didn’t always agree with mara’s decisions but i could understand them, and overall this made me think. it was a revelatory book and definitely one of my favorite reads this year. i loved the writing style and how the title connected to a central metaphor with the characters.

Toca muchos temas importante de una gran manera y en algunos momentos me dieron ganas de llorar, pero hubo algo que simplemente no me permitió conectar completamente con el libro.
