The most grim and dark book I’ve read in a long time. Just when you thought things couldn’t get more depraved, they do! A graphic and unflinching look at the darkest corners of humanity. What made me not just DNF it was the writing and the structure of it. Short but packs the biggest punch. 

Fernanda Melchor, tiene mis respetos. Nunca voy a olvidar las emociones que senti cuando estaba leyendo esto.

Un libro terrorífico, incómodo y espectacular. Vale la pena leerlo porque Melchor es una maestra y este libro lo demuestra con facilidad.
