A little odd and nonsensical to me but I think that was the point....?

Pro: intense with gore and raucous cackling.
Con: characters flit past in all two of their dimensions.

Oh my goodness, this book!!! What a journey. Saying anything would be saying too much.

SpoilerThe whole thing's a setup! Every step along the way, Lise is completely in the driver's seat. Even the rejection of the stain-resistant dress has a purpose; Lise wants a dress that will stain at the end. Maybe she knew exactly who the man on the plane was all along?

Si tengo que usar pocas palabras para describir el libro (y sin dar spoilers) serían absurdo, onírico e inquietante, lo realmente sorprende es que la autora logra también meterle trazos de comedia. De verdad, gratamente sorprendida con esta novela corta pero que no deja a nadie indiferente
