I didn't even know which boxes to tick for this review. It was compelling but I didn't fully get what was happening at times. It gets weird and too messy at times, so it was hard to relate. All of the characters are in serious need of therapy.
Also, I read the translated to Spanish version and I think that didn't help either. Latin American readers, we need something that lets us know if the translation is from Spain. I swear it's truly painful at times. Ironically, it's definitely harder than reading in English which is not my mother tongue.
