Měla jsem se radši podívat na film. Bylo by to kratší.
1. Kniha je neskutečně nudná.
2. Protože všichni v té knize jsou neskutečně nudní, šediví a placatí.
3. Pokud má být Lili/Einar trans, tak proč Lili neví, co dělal Einar, a Einar si nepamatuje, co dělá Lili? Přeoperování na ženskou jako lék na disociativní poruchu identity?

Me gustó, fue una historia digna de conocer. Esta bien que solo veas la película, pero el libro si contiene bastantes cosas diferentes.

I loved this. If you want a story of a trans woman in the 20 then this is it! Some parts dragged but other than that I loved it. Can’t wait to see the film
