Thank you to @jonathanballpublishers for the gifted copy!
Miranda is a woman in pain. She was an actress who fell off of the stage and is now permanently damaged. Her career as an actress was gone and there was a constant ache in her leg, hip and back. Then she meets three men who give her the power to transfer her pain onto someone else.
This woman was unhinged in a Macbeth kind of way. None of the story made sense to me and I was left wondering what exactly I had just read at the end. This is neither a light read nor a good one and I was very disappointed that I had spent six days to finish it.
I saw that some folks gave this book 4 β 5 stars and Iβm happy that they could understand the story but I was lost (and a little grossed out, to be honest). Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this story and Iβm sorry to say that I wouldnβt recommend it.

Esta novela tiene varios elementos que me gustan: una protagonista que estΓ‘ en una situaciΓ³n lΓmite, o como se le dice ahora, unhinged woman; una narradora poco confiable, un elemento fantΓ‘stico oscuro y perturbador que irrumpe en la realidad, humor tragicΓ³mico. El estilo de Awad me fascinΓ³, tiene una cualidad hipnotizante que te mete por completo en ese estado de extraΓ±amiento de la narraciΓ³n, como un limbo entre el sueΓ±o y el despertar. Por momentos tiene algo vertiginoso, vinculado al peligro de lo que en cualquier momento puede perder el control y explotar.
La ΓΊnica razΓ³n por la cual no llega a las cinco estrellas es que no me convenciΓ³ del todo el final. Si bien parece un final redondito en el que cierra todo, para mΓ faltΓ³ impacto. Se desinfla, no se arriesga a mantener el tono del resto del libro. Creo que por ese motivo tampoco logrΓ³ emocionarme tanto como habrΓa podido. Pero como ya dije, de todos modos me encantΓ³ y tengo muchas ganas de leer Rouge, la prΓ³xima novela de Awad, y tambiΓ©n Bunny, por quΓ© no.

For any fans of character studies, Shakespeare, and darker stories, I would 100000% recommend.
