The complexity of the relationships and mental experiences here are expertly dissected and recounted in Elena's first person narrative. I thought a lot about co-dependency, though I can't say I've seen that depicted between two friends in such a way before. Amidst the warmth and the intimacy of Elena and Lina's (or LenĂº and Lila's) bond, there is also negativity and resentment. That depth of feeling explored kept me engaged and curious throughout. When you're unbelievably close with someone, someone you've known since almost as far back as your lived memory stretches, how do they shape you? Is it for good, bad, or simply both? How do you grow together, or, how can you? If you grow in the same small space, you're bound to stunt each other, and yet, what a strange joy it must be to know another's mind and manner so well. The cost of such knowing to Elena's psyche is something the narrative is still spooling out, and and I look forward to the next installment to see how it all develops.
