isarza's review against another edition

emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

No fue lo que esperaba aunque no significa que me haya decepcionado simplemente esperaba que me rompiera al leerlo pero no, esto es realmente una carta de amor a su hermana y de vez en cuando pone una que otra cifra sobre violencia de género. 
Siento que la autora lo escribió principalmente para ella misma, como parte de su proceso de duelo y como un homenaje a su hermana lo que lo vuelve un libro conmovedor pero demasiado personal como para poder quizás conectar con otras perdidas. 
Aún así me gustó mucho su prosa. Me iré a escuchar "lucha de gigantes" que hace mucho que no escuchaba.
