O que existe ao redor da violação misógena

De forma perspicaz e visceral, Fernanda Melchor expõe as condições de um ato planejado pelos adolescentes titulares desse romance: Franco, residente do complexo habitacional de luxo e obssecado pela vizinha, e Polo, que trabalha como jardineiro em Paradise por instistência da mãe, mas sonha em fugir da rotina maçante - custe o que custar.  

Ao discorrer sobre a insegurança sexual, abandono e retórica irresponsável dessas personagens, enquanto integra elementos particulares do cotidiano mexicano, os desdobramentos parecem cada vez mais inevitáveis, porém não menos cativantes em sua absurdidade sem pausas ou redenções.

I lack the emotional resilience and overall stomach to value this book for what I know it is. Too much for me but glad I read it.
