This was a fast read. Silvia Moreno-Garcia can really write that small-town claustrophobia so well that I was so frustrated and angry on behalf of the protagonist. It was a bit too close to the home too, having some experience with very traditional catholic upbringing myself.
Viridiana is a very vivid and believable protagonist, and I liked her development through the book a lot, even though there were some moments in the middle that made me want to scream at her (like I said, very believable as a character). I liked the ending a lot, how she transformed as a character, what she learned. Mystery part was a bit too predictable, but the overall atmosphere, realistic characters and prose, made it easy for me to read and enjoy the book a lot.
Also, I like the trope of femme fatale and this book delivers it on more ways and does not disappoint.
