i rlly enjoyed this that i ordered in the dream house mid way through (after reading mothers). i usually dont like short story collections and find it hard to start the next story after i finish one but every story in this was very compelling (minus the svu one i skipped that)

All the stories in this book reflect on different aspects of being human through a very unexpected turn to fiction and even some body horror, with a very clear through line of the female experience.

Que bien escribe Machado y que genial es leerla. Como todas las antologías, algunos relatos son más flojos (sobre todo el relato de Ley y orden), pero algunos de los relatos son increíbles. Me ha encantado la sexualidad que desprenden los escritos.
