Side note: I also loved Maria. She reminded me so much of my own grandmother and other relatives, and the scene where she and Ana eat together warmed my heart.

It starts with the MC losing interest in a sexual encounter during the act but not feeling like she can really extract herself from it and disassociates so hard she doesn't notice
Like I said. Not wrong. Just. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
AND THEN AT THE END OF IT when she's finally supposed to have realised something, she most likely sets her own ass on fire again.
Or at least the dangling ending makes you question if she does, and honestly considering the whole theme of this book seems to be *people are, by and large, maliciously deceptive arseholes who never change their shitty behavior* imma guess she does the thing.
But if slice of life relationship drama with constant reminders that women are systemically fucked, blamed for the crimes committed against them, and the we all desperately need to find a #Good Man and Be Happy# then yeah. It sure is that.
