Una chulada de libro pero está pesadísimo (está cortito pero me tardé como un mes leyéndolo por lo mismo). Si lo puedes aguantar, es simplemente brillante y habla sobre algo que es de todos.

SOOO GOOD. So geniunely frightening and grotesque in the best way. Proceed with caution though and look into content warnings, as I had to take multiple breaks throughout my reading. I felt like I needed to wash out my brain with soap
