Devastador, duro, doloroso… No encuentro las palabras correctas para describir lo que vivió esta chica, tuve un nudo en la garganta en todo momento al leer esta novela, me estremezco en solo pensar en las mujeres que habrán tenido que vivir esto y en las muchas que no lograron sobrevivir…

This one was hard to read. It’s a great graphic novel, a good story. Emily Carroll’s art style is perfect to illustrate Melinda’s story and thoughts. 
Now, I have to read the novel
