Le cuesta arrancar un poco sobretodo al principio. Más o menos hasta el primer cuarto del libro sitúa el ambiente y la escena con idas y venidas entre el presente y el pasado. 
Cuesta un poco entrar en los personajes pero poco al llegar casi a la mitad, empieza a tomar más de ritmo, lo cual se agradece.

El libro explora más bien el cómo un personaje se convierte en lo que se convierte más que los actos que acomete, así que por ese lado es interesante y también otra forma diferente y fresca de desarrollar un thriller.

En un punto pasa algo y parece que eso vaya a desencadenar una resolución que hubiera resultado algo floja y “justificaría” los actos de la protagonista, pero afortunadamente no recurre a ese recurso para nada.

El libro contiene escenas muy explícitas difíciles para estómagos sensibles.
 
Un buen debut, habrá que seguirle la pista a la autora.

Rounded up from 4.5 stars

I had 2 main thoughts that kept rattling in my head during this entire book. 1. these white men are horrible and 2. is this actually happening? 

This book was so fast paced that I flew through it. Our fmc really is really struggling through the book in every way; school, family, friends, and love life. We watch as she struggles, becomes more unhinged, and literally loses it. This was so fun, I loved it!

Sick and twisted.  Kept me on my toes wanting more. Although I guessed a few major plot points the story was entertaining (and equal parts nauseating). Definite recommend for those who enjoy body horror
