Man, i don't like rating anything with 5 stars but this book definitely deserves it. Read it if you're in the mood for crying, if you are trans or know someone who is, if you're interested in Madrid, if you're currently making an effort to see a light at the end of the tunnel, or if you just feel like it. Any reason is a good reason to read it because whatever your motive is; it will speak to you.

Tan bonito como triste. Una historia que parece que alguien te la va contando desde la confianza y con mucho cariño. 
La manera de escribir y de relatar encaja muy bien con la historia y a través de las referencias y de la elección de palabras, construye un personaje muy completo que te hace dudar si no existe realmente. 
Te acerca también a empatizar y poder entender un poco la realidad de personas con realidades distintas a las normativas.
